Not that I'm insensitive but I know that He placed me there, to be helpful using my nursing skills and through that, prayerfully, for the inmates to see that there is hope...that hope that comes from our Savior Jesus Christ. Sometimes, we don't need to speak and they can read our testimonies through our own behaviors/actions/attitudes.<br />You came to mind yesterday when I was going to work. I want to return the offer instead...that if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask me. :)<br />Thank you all and God bless.RCUBEshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726426726039665564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-88092997299376823542009-07-18T15:06:45.670-07:002009-07-18T15:06:45.670-07:00Bro.Ike: It could have been "any" of us....Bro.Ike: It could have been "any" of us. Unfortunately, this man was very unpredictable. That was just his kind of game and I felt that it was his thrill to feel that he was in control all the time. I wasn't surprised that night, he was the first man to come to mind and I was right! Because I felt that from the very beginning when I first treated him, that whether he would do something on purpose or not, something bad would come out of his behavior. I believed that then...it would only be God who could help him. There are so many like him. A lot stemming from drug use that their mental capabilities are very distorted. <br />Thanks for your visits.RCUBEshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726426726039665564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-54045266950261821152009-07-18T11:15:01.604-07:002009-07-18T11:15:01.604-07:00I do not feel "mad" hearing about people...I do not feel "mad" hearing about people like this young man. First of all...if he is swallowing razors....he certainly had problems. My guess is that he came from an abusive background and was never loved. Being in prison.....I would think he did not have the benefit of the best pshycological treatment etc. <br /><br /> After saying that...I believe in a sovereign God and if He would have wanted to save this young man....He would have. And one further thought.....only by His grace....this young man could have been me!Ikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595879576794400791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-71203584416612113142009-07-18T05:24:05.922-07:002009-07-18T05:24:05.922-07:00That is so sad that he didn't value the life a...That is so sad that he didn't value the life and time of grace here on earth that God gave him to come to know His Heavenly Father. What a waste! It grieves me so to see this happen. What would cause a person to hate his life so much that he would throw it all away - no matter what situation he found himself in. I know he was in prison - but how sad to not LEARN from his mistake! <br /><br />I can't imagine the pain that our Lord feels to have a beloved child of His throw it all away for all eternity in this way. To waste his chance to get to know the One who gave him life! ~sigh~<br /><br />I have said it more than once my friend - but it must be so hard for you to keep your spirits up having to deal with this kind of grief for your fellow man on a daily basis. What a burden you must feel! I haven't known you very long - but I want you to know that if you ever feel the need to vent or to have someone to pray with you - or FOR you - to help uplift you from the sorrow that surely this job of yours must cause occasionally, PLEASE call on me! If you want to send me a personal email that is fine too. I will pray with and for you and be a shoulder for you as well. We must lift wach other up through our difficulties - to help refresh and renew our spirits for the hard work that the Lord has given us to do. <br /><br />I think you are wonderful and I applaud the great job you are doing as you work for our blessed Lord Jesus!<br />((Hugs))<br />Kymberkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005301015609232017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-89201487689839244512009-07-17T20:12:18.133-07:002009-07-17T20:12:18.133-07:00Aww!

God shines brightly in you to all you are in contact with....at work, here on your blog and I have no doubt even those whom you may visit in a store...You just shine for HIM always! I pray comfort to all those who had to witness this and ask the Lord as you work tonight that the atmosphere will be filled and covered by the Holy Spirit!<br /><br />Love you Rosel!Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342381156917160229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-79224372933491763162009-07-17T16:51:05.020-07:002009-07-17T16:51:05.020-07:00"Pseudo faith always arranges a way out to se..."Pseudo faith always arranges a way out to serve in case God fails it. Real faith knows only one way and gladly allows itself to be stripped of any second way or makeshift substitutes. For true faith, it is either God or total collapse. And not since Adam first stood up on the earth has God failed a single man or woman who trusted him."<br /><br />A. W.
