New Faith

She began carrying a razor blade under her tongue from the age of twelve.  She had lived a life sprinkled with violence.  When I first met her, she had planned an assault on someone, and was just dropping by to tell us she couldn’t attend the meeting.  She had “other” plans.  But she accidentally became involved in the discussion and ended up giving her life to Christ that night. Good substitute for an assault.

Recently, her angry niece asked her to take revenge on someone who had gotten in a tiff with her.  She told her niece, “ Yeah that’s what I used to do.  But, now what I do is I just pray.”

New Faith.  New Life!
