Linda Grissom shares
By Linda Grissom

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Linda Grissom. I am a new Christian. First of all, I want to say thank you Father for Your gift of eternal life. My testimony may seem simple to some, but believe me, when I say that it was a life changing experience.

I, as a Christian, fairly new in my walk, started doubting my relationship with God, allowed myself to start serving Satan. I was a faithful servant, winning souls for him through my sinful lifestyle. For being so faithful and quick to serve my new god (satan) I was given a reward of 15 years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections, for delivery of a controlled substance. There, I found myself wondering if God really cared about me. "In my mind", I thought He had let me down.

Two years into my sentence, and much deeper in sin, I called home to talk to my 3 Yr. old son. During his endless chatter he got really quiet, and then asked me, "Mommy, do you know that Jesus loves you, and He died for me and you". It was at this point that I started questioning my faith, and realized that it wasn't God that had let me down, but quite the opposite. If a child of only 3 Yrs. can witness God's love, why was I having such a hard time? I understand now, that God allows things to happen in order for us as Christians, to grow in our faith. So instead of questioning my faith, or being ashamed of being in prison, I can stand and witness to God's merciful love. He may have allowed things to happen that I didn't understand at the time. However, He saved my life and my soul from eternal damnation, by allowing me to come to prison.

This is just one of many gifts that God has given me. The most valuable being eternal life, through His Son, Jesus Christ. He showed me His love through His Son, as well as my own life, which I have given back to Him. Instead of questioning the things that happen in my life, I look for the lessons that God has for me. I trust in Him to hold my hand, lead, guide and direct me in the path that He has for me to follow. Through my trials and tribulations I have learned to be more dependent on Him. So once more, I want to say,"thank You Father!"
