Dear Mom,
May the peace and hope of Christ be with you.
Guilt, regret and self-pity are weapons satan uses to keep us stuck and miserable. I had faced myself, and all that I was, and all my sufferings, and the sufferings I have caused you and everyone else, that brought me to the foot of the cross.
I feel free right here in my cell in a way I never was on the street. This is where I am meant to be. This is God’s plan for me and I don’t want you to be sad I am here or feel of regret or guilt. Feel sad for all the people walking around on the streets who don’t know God. They are the real prisoners, they are the ones I pity.
I am free in Christ, truly free. This is where God wants me and I fully submit to his will and his plan. I may never have found God had none of this happened. I was very lost. I feel fortunate and bless beyond words to have you as my Mom and I thank God for the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. I have a joy and a peace that doesn’t depend on the circumstances of my life. I have a direction and a purpose and I am no longer a slave of drugs or this world. I love you Mom. Rejoice that I know Christ deeply and profoundly. Look to the fact that life never ends, only changes. What is 25 years when we have all of eternity to bask in God’s love?
Life is a blink of an eye and then we have our true home in Heaven. I thank God for my life and blessings because I am truly blessed and truly loved. I love you Mom. Be free in Spirit that is how God want us. I have such a stillness within myself since my initiation into Christ’s Body.
