## THE LORD LOVES ME
“My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand.” —JOHN 10:27-28
I used to live as a Christian, but then I strayed away from the truth. For many years I drifted in and out of trouble, knowing deep inside that I desperately needed the Lord but fighting it because I was afraid of Him. Yet a very simple example reminded me that God was always calling me tenderly back into His fold. I never told my children about my situation during my time in prison. Whenever I called or wrote them, I was just “away,” and everything was “all right.” But then, a Christian lady and good friend in prison told me to tell my children the truth.
I told them and waited two anxious months to hear from them. Finally, I received a great blessing—the first letter from my daughter. At the top of the page, she had written in big letters, “PLEASE WRITE SOON” and “MOMMA, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.”
My daughter’s words opened my eyes to a great truth: the Lord always loves me. I pray that I may be faithful to Him and become whatever He wants me to be.
—Nina
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to live the life You desire for me from now on, one day at a time. Thank You for Your patience with me. Help me to be patient with others. Amen.
