Selections from Saints Alive by Hilda Charlton (vegetarian): Chapter One – The Garden of Master Jesus, Part 2 of 2

“Jesus appeared outside a bus one day when I was grumbling about the heat of the Orient and the dirt and the dust on the bus. Flying along outside the window was my Jesus, and what He said is for all of us. He said, ‘No, no, not Crucifixion for you. A life more abundant I come to bring.’ He spoke of many things that were abundant. He means everything - your physical world abundant, your emotional world cleaned up, your mental world clear. Everything abundant. Not Crucifixion for us! He did that job and left. He said it very clearly that day. He said, ‘When I say abundant, I mean all planes.’ And so He does, if you know how to believe and call and trust.” “A Hindu girl says that no matter what a person does to her or who judges her or says mean things to her or how many mistakes she makes, there is One ever near, forgiving. ‘Forgiving, loving, compassionate,’ she says, ‘Jesus is always near.’ I just know that He forgives and He’s there to help, putting out His hand. He’s just so compassionate. I feel like He’s always watching over all of us to guide us and to help us and that with Jesus you can never go wrong because He’ll never forsake you.’”
