A Woman in Prison

I met a woman in prison in Argentina. A girl, really, she was only 20 years old. She was in prison for selling and using drugs. Soon after she'd gotten there, her mother died.

She was afraid. Her eyes filled with tears, and she said, "Now that I'm off drugs, I can think clearly, and I realize I am so alone in the world."

My heart was deeply moved. I told her that God loves her, that He knows her name, that He saw all that she'd done, and He knew everything that had been done to her. And He wanted to welcome her into His eternal family.

Hope and faith filled her eyes as we prayed. I was reminded there is hope for every human being on the face of the earth, and there is hope for you.

Always remember there is hope with God.

“This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.”
