Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Linda returned the next Sunday and the Sunday after that, but she was reluctant to fill out the
visitors' registration card, but after a few Sundays she finally did asking for help.
One of the team that went to see Linda was Fred. He had the gift of hope as well as profound
love. Fred knew that Jesus Christ could help Linda. He told her that Jesus could bring healing in
her life. He explained how she could meet Jesus. Then he waited patiently until she committed her
life to Christ and asked for his healing of her addiction.
Several months later Linda radiated with joy as she shared her victory over addiction to cocaine.
"I want to share what I've found," she said with enthusiasm. "I want to work with young people
hooked on hard drugs. I want them to know there's hope!"
(Romans 10:13
NRSV)
Linda was a homeless cocaine addict. One Sunday morning she wandered into a nearby church
and sat in the last pew. Persons around her could not help but notice she was crying throughout
the service. That morning Linda heard the good news about Christ's love and forgiveness and how
to make a new start in life.
Dear God, my situation may not be as tough as Linda's, but show me your hope as I share it with
my co-workers. Amen.
