Endured enough heartache for a
Lifetime.
Abused as a child, she became addicted to
Drugs as a teenager.
But as she shared her story with our
Women's group, she didn't focus on
The trauma, but on her redemption.
She told us how she had "worked" the
Streets, how she had tried to quit, but
Always succumbed to her deadly habit.
Thankfully, the broken gal was noticed by
Jesus followers who wouldn't give up on her.
They approached her over and over inviting
Her into the coffee house on the corner.
They always left her with three words:
"Jesus loves you."
The woman resisted, for she had learned to
Trust no one.
In a weak moment, however, she ventured into
The cafe where she was warmly welcomed.
The workers were the "real deal," and
They supported her for the long haul.
Now the overcomer lives in an apartment complex
With caring sisters who understand.
Our ladies applauded when she announced,
"I've been clean for seven months."
Her struggle isn't over.
It never will be.
But now that a group of grandmas is
Praying for the young woman, the scale is
Tipped in her favor.
