"I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me,
I was in prison and you came to visit me."

Dear ___________,
Jesus is never going to give up on you! He loves you too much. I wanted to share a verse with you that I shared with a friend just last week:
Jesus doesn't treat us the way we deserve to be treated - His love for us is perfect! I am praying for you. Hope you come to understand God's love!
Blessings,
Ann, your sister in Christ
During the last couple weeks, our church, The Chapel, has been writing letters to prisoners at a nearby prison. Forty prisoners are treated to a weekend which celebrates God's love for them. Many of them have committed horrible acts, but we are encouraged to remind them of God's love.
Love. So simple, isn't it? God loves you.
Simple.
Last week I was thinking about the verse that says that if we believe in our hearts that Jesus is is Lord and that if you confess that God raised Him from the dead, we are saved. That's all it takes?
Simple.
God loves us. We accept that love. So simple.
Sometimes a relationship with God can seem so complicated. So full of things to do and things not to to. As I wrote letters today, I was reminded of how simple faith in God's love for us can be.

What a ministry! I think this is such a great idea and such a neat way to witness...the power of God's word is so amazing...it penetrates to the bone marrow, to the hardest of hearts, to the darkest of souls...I commend you for reaching to the lost in such a neat way! You inspire me, Bella, and encourage me in my walk with our Lord!
Yes...His love is only a few words away, a kneeling away and for eternity! May you be blessed through and through and may His love continue to shine through you!
