Since childhood, Jacob Smith has been abusive to his classmates. His actions have resulted in lasting trauma for many of his friends. As an adult, he continued to be the same selfish person. He started his career as a businessman, committing a series of scams. He reached fame and fortune, always playing dirty and fooling whoever was in his way. His only concern was attaining the highest position possible, often leading to arrests and devastating consequences for others. Many individuals suffered from ruined reputations and financial ruin due to his actions. Regardless of the location, Smith exerted control over those around him, skillfully manipulating people and establishing himself as a ruling force.

​

Everything was going well in his life. He was powerful and untouchable. However, on a Tuesday afternoon, his life took a turn. He was diagnosed with cancer and had only a few months to live. Upon noticing the doctor's condescending expression, he felt angry for receiving someone's pity. He believed he had the power to accomplish anything he wanted and didn't want to succumb to a foolish disease like a fragile child.

​

Shortly after leaving the office, Jacob decided to enjoy every second of life as much as possible. He left his companies under the control of his closest friends and most trusted employees to take a vacation and travel worldwide. Jacob refused to accept his condition. Furthermore, he had everything he wanted: power, people, red carpets, fame, money, and women. For the next few months, his life was all about parties, luxury, and spending loads of money. He was out of control and quickly went broke. It didn't take long for the news that he had only a few months to live to reach the ears of everyone. His employees, partners, and friends embraced the opportunity to strike against Jacob Smith.

​

Jacob was now desperate. He realized how painful it was to be betrayed and left alone after working so hard to achieve his fortune. His life was falling apart. He got involved with drugs and ended up living on the street, suffering from hunger and humiliation. He felt like everything was over. One day, while eating donated soup on a dead-end road where a Christian institution used to help the poor, Jacob was arrested and beaten in prison several times. The prison sheltered him, but the living conditions were worse than sharing the streets with rats. After being spanked and abused many times, Jacob prayed to God to end his life. He used to think of God as an executor of believers.

​

But the God that Jacob ignored his entire life didn't seem to ignore him. People started visiting the prisoners frequently, showing them affection and offering words of faith. They touched the heart of that devastated man. Jacob felt a spark of hope growing in his heart. He would die soon, but he no longer felt alone.

​

On a Sunday morning, while listening to the preaching of a young prison visitor, Jacob accepted Jesus, and from that moment, his life seemed to change. A few weeks later, he was released, and the charges against him were dropped. Jacob felt like he was getting a new chance at life. He began to reflect on his past actions and experienced feelings of shame. He decided to spend the remaining time he had left locating individuals from his past and seeking their forgiveness. Furthermore, he compiled a list of the people he needed to approach and apologize to.

​

At that moment, all his complications seemed to disappear like a miracle. He felt cured of his cancer. One of his new friends helped him along his journey and told him this healing was a gift from God. Jacob felt great about his new life. He started preaching in prisons, churches, and anywhere he could. He started working to get his life back and decided to seek out the people he cheated to ask for forgiveness, as a servant of the Lord who had been saved and healed.

​

His mission wouldn't be easy. Most people didn't believe him. He had many doors slammed in his face before he could even say a few words about being a new man.

​

One of the people he wronged was Madeline Bailey. Surprisingly, the "ugly" girl from his childhood had become one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen. She was working as a psychologist, and her radiant beauty brought peace to his heart. It was like looking up at the blue sky on a sunny Saturday afternoon while listening to a bird singing. They talked for hours, and he explained everything about the old Jacob and how he felt about it. To the delight of his soul, Madeline was one of the few who truly forgave him. She was the first one.

​

He returned to his hometown, Lincoln, Massachusetts, to begin therapy treatment with his new friend, Madeline. After several appointments, he realized he was falling in love with her. But as he became a better man, he didn't think it would be correct to tell her. It would put her marriage at risk. She was a respectable person, married with three kids. Jacob felt an internal conflict, holding back his desire to tell her about his feelings and fight for her. Revealing the truth would bring turmoil to her life.

​

He loved her more than anything, so he found solace in knowing that she was happy. He decided to continue on his mission to help homeless people find salvation, embracing the teachings of Jesus.

​

After some time, Jacob's cancer returned, and he accepted it as a part of his life. He was unwell, but he had peace of mind. He continued to help people overcome their addiction to drugs and reclaim their lives.

​

During his last moments, he lay on a bed with Madeline by his side. They talked and laughed for hours. Jacob noticed a particular expression on her face and asked her what was going on. She revealed that he was her teenage crush and that she was happy to hold the hand of the boy she had once loved. She had loved him all her life. Jacob became emotional and confessed that he too was in love with her. He explained that he hadn't wanted to tell her anything, as he genuinely cared about her and the family she had built. He didn't want to cause any harm to her, her husband, or her children.

​

Both of them were overcome with emotions. Jacob felt loved and understood the true meaning of life; forgiveness, love, and hope. And he passed away peacefully.
