Poetry
When you are "locked up" in a room with 74 women who face charges of drug abuse, murder, assault and robbery, it isn't real easy to approach them even about Christ without being afraid for your own safety.
The Lord gave me this poem that I know I copied more than 100 times and would put on their bunk. On a number of occasions they would come and talk to me after they read the poem and asked me questions. As far as the others I don't count them as failures but a way for the Holy Spirit to start working on them.
Please feel free to use this poem in an e-mail, a note or anyway you might wish to approach some of those you've been a little hesitant to approach and tell the wonderful story of our Lord and Savior.
God Bless You All

A NOTE TO A FRIEND
I’ve got a friend of mine
I’d really like you to get to know.
He’s so special to me
I take Him where ever I go.
I’m sure you’ve heard about Him
In stories and in song.
He really wants you to know Him
He’s been waiting to meet you for so long.
He may not be able to shake your hand
But I promise He will shake your heart
For two new friends
That’s a very good place to start.
It’s not nearly enough
To just know Him with your mind.
Until you make Him part of your life
No true peace will you ever find.
You see I’m talking about Jesus
My omnipotent Lord and King.
I want you to know Him intimately
Because to me He’s everything.
He already loves you so very much
Even if you don’t know Him well.
He suffered, bled and died
Just so you wouldn’t have to face hell.
But three days after His death
He rose up from the dead.
This is the part of the story
You must accept with your heart, not just your head.
May people truly believe
That this story might be true.
But until you accept Him personally
There’s nothing more He can do.
Just stop and ask Him in your life
Then see all the wonders He can do.
Cause to tell you the truth, dear friend,
He nor I want to face eternity without you.
