A New Life
Written by Kate Newman
There was once someone named Von Clarro Schmedt.
He was tall, and well-dressed in a tie and a vest.
He walked with a cane, and a bit of a limp.
When he spoke, it was like silver leaving his lips.
One dreary day, he walked up to a girl sitting there.
Who looked down, and forgotten and lost in despair.
“Hello there, madam. “ said that sly ol’ Von Clarro.
“I’ve got just the thing, to ease all your sorrow...
It’ll feel so good and make everything right
It’s the best in the town, and it just might…
Fulfill all your dreams and all your desires.
You’ll be satisfied forever.
Hey! I ain’t no liar.”
Said Von Clarro Schmedt
But he never did mention the price of it.
“Sure!” said the girl. “I’ll give it a try.
I really am needing to be satisfied.”
So she took what Von Clarro had
And with the highest of hopes,
She was no longer sad.

So she took what Von Clarro had
And with the highest of hopes,
She was no longer sad.
She felt good and fulfilled, but just for a bit.
Then she felt empty and saddened within.
So she called upon Von and just like a flash,
Von was by her side with more from his stash.
“Hey, it’s okay madam. I’ve got more you can try!
It’ll feel so good, and make everything right.
It’s the best in the town, and it just might…
Fulfill all your dreams and all your desires.
You’ll be satisfied forever
Hey! I ain’t no liar!”

But he never did mention the price of it.

Said Von Clarro Schmedt
But he never did mention the price of it.
So the young girl once again, trusted ol’ Von.
She never had a thought that it could be wrong.
Since how could something wrong, feel so great?
She felt for a while, everything was ok!
But then, out of nowhere, the good feeling left.
It had been so long, she started to forget.
What it felt like to feel empty, sad and alone.
So she called upon Von who rushed to her home.
“I’ll need more! So much more! It’s just not enough!
What else have you got, that will fill this hole up?”
“Don’t worry, young lady, I’ve got just the thing.
Here is something special, I’ve been saving.
It’s the best and you’ll see, I promise it will be
ALL that you will ever need!”
“I’ll take that! Yes! Every last bit!”
But Von never did mention the price of it.

Much time passed, and the girl was worse for sure.
Then when sneaky Von Clarro first had met her.
“Good evening madam, remember me? Have a look!
It’s time to pay up, for all that you took.”
He held out the bill, to the young girl’s surprise.
Her heart sank at the cost, she couldn’t believe her eyes!
“I don’t have anything to pay” she began to fret
As she showed Von her empty pockets.
“I didn’t realize what you gave had a high price, Von Clarro!”
And she hung her head with the deepest of sorrows.
“Oh come now madam, you know nothin’ is free...
Now didn’t you enjoy what you had from me?

“Oh come now madam, you know nothin’ is free...
Now didn’t you enjoy what you had from me?
Now pay with your blood, you’ve met your end.
Don’t you know, I don’t make a very good friend.”
As Von got ready to collect his due,
A hand stopped the sword from piercing through.
“I’ll pay it in full”
And to this young girl’s surprise,
She was able to live and owed this man her life.
As the man who saved her turned to walk away
She cried out, “wait! How can I repay?”
“No one has ever gave his life for mine.
How can this be? I owe you my life!”
So the man, wrapped in linen,
said with something so true
“Follow me. I have much to show you.”
Don’t you know, I don’t make a very good friend.”

Von Clarro clenched his fist, and cried out “NO!”
“She was right where I wanted her, this cannot be so!”
But the young girl joyfully jumped up with no shame!
She was given a NEW LIFE
Now nothing would ever be the same!

We were created to chase after God, our creator. But we have an enemy who loves to distract us with everything that brings us temporary happiness or pleasure, and when we chase after that, we are left feeling empty inside. We are always wanting more and more to be satisfied, but whatever it is, it will never be enough.
God loves us, and He knows that there will never be enough money, alcohol, drugs, or any other physical pleasure to satisfy the hole in our souls.
Because that hole was made for Him and only Him.
2000 years ago, God made a way for us to be redeemed back to Him through the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross, so that we can find the ultimate never-ending satisfaction in Him-The way we were created to be!
If you are ready to believe in His payment for your sins, and have a relationship with Him that will bring eternal satisfaction, then say the prayer below in faith...
