I just want to give you an idea of what occurs in the prison, day in, day out. 24/7. Many arrestees come in, just so belligerent. They have no second thoughts about committing crimes, about hurting others, and breaking the law by using illegal substances outside. Yet, when they come in, they think that they can do whatever they want to do inside the prison, disregarding authorities.
"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves." - Romans 13:2
Authorities are appointed by God. Christians are obliged to obey God by respecting government authority. Even if abuses have occurred, we are to respect the said authorities, out of respect for the Lord. But we must please no man but only God! He is our Ultimate Boss!

Oh my sweet sister...I so pray for your safety in such a dark place as the prison where you work. You have to be a strong woman in the Lord to be able to work and keep it all together as you do Rosel and be a shining light to others at the same time. Yes...God is always in control and it is under His authority that every one in this entire world must submit to.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post!
I love you dear friend and you always always reamin in my prayers.
Big Hugs,
