I had a few restless nights laying in a 6x9 foot cell -- women
grumbling, guards hollering, doors slamming and my mind constantly going ...
One day, I sat at a table with two other offenders, just like myself.
They were reading the prisoner book titled: Inmate-To-Inmate. FREE Books Offer!
One had called me to sit closer to hear a story in the book that changed my
life forever. It was simply about a woman who was tired of carrying all of
the luggage and baggage that for years had been weighing her down. She
wanted to give it all to God. She wanted to confess of her sins and lay
everything beneath His feet, but evil was working on her as well. Evil made
her feel guilty, condemned and unwanted ... changing her mind yet again,
about giving it all to God. So she continued to carry the luggage once more.
The baggage and luggage that became far too much for her to carry consisted
of men, lying, drugs, cheating, stealing, money and manipulating. She was
tired of it all.
As the story was being told, I couldn't help myself
from thinking about coming into my 6x9 foot cell, and giving it all to him!
I sat and listened as the other offender went on telling the story. The
emotional and spiritual luggage she insisted on carrying was far too much to
carry on her own. But, she cried and kept walking, when finally she stopped
because God said to her, "Come my child, confess of your sins. Believe
in me, I am all you will ever need."
I glanced across the table once
more. My face was red from crying and tears continued to fall. I looked at
my sister in Christ and said, "Something keeps telling me to go to my room
and give it all to Him! She looked over at me with a look no woman could
ever forget and said, "That's God talking to you! What are you doing? Go to
your room!"
Fear rose up in me of what other women were going to say
or how they were going to react. The fear made me unsure of getting
up and doing what I knew in my heart I really wanted to do. That was evil
working on me, now, more than ever, telling me not to go.
Being distracted and blinded by
my sister, she stood at my right side and said, "Come on, you're going to be
reborn again."
Without looking back, we both walked into my cell.
She knelt before me as I sat straight up on my bed, reaching her hands out
for mine and asking in the same breath, "Do you want to give it all to God?"
Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Do you confess of your
sins right now?"
As both of my hands touched hers ... tears of joy
streamed down my face. Our hands in each other ... I had just given Him all of
my luggage!
It wasn't heavy anymore! I could breathe! I was saved
from the penalty for my sins and spiritually reborn! I had just given it
all to God!
As of this writing, I'm 26
years old. I am a mother of four beautiful children. I am currently awaiting
sentencing on a D felony - this being my fourth time in jail.
But ... I believe -- and if I can be saved and reborn again spiritually, so can you!
You'll know when it's your time, if you want to be right with God before you die -- I did!
Staff Note: Just don't postpone getting right with Him. You never know when your heart will beat its last, and once that happens, you'll face God's judgment.
He wants you being right with Him more than YOU do! He died proving it, and when He died ... He had YOU in mind.
