His Precious Words

I went to visit one of our homeless women who is in prison right now. She has become a follower of Christ and we have been teaching her for almost a year now. It has been very exciting to see her growth from week to week. My husband usually goes to teach her on Wednesday's and I go on Sunday's. In between times she goes to their services there at the prison and studies on her own everyday. I'm always telling her that she is our little missionary in jail because she is constantly telling us how she has been spreading the Word to others in there with her. Well, we thought it was time she had her own Bible to study from. We were able to send her a brand new Bible this last week. We had some money from donations that were given for the ministry and purchased it for her. She was in tears Sunday telling us that she received it. She kept saying it was the best Bible in the world and how spoiled she felt. Over and over she kept repeating how spoiled she was. I thought that was awesome because how many of us, Christian or non-Christian, has several Bible's in their home and they don't even think too much about it. It is sad that we will only think about our Bibles for once a week when we go to church or maybe 5 or 10 minutes a day and that be it. We sure don't feel spoiled. What a great lesson to learn from her.

Yesterday my husband had the privilege of giving another woman, who is homeless, a Bible. She had been requesting one for a couple weeks. We finally found the perfect one for her. She was thrilled!! He said that she kissed it and just started crying for joy. This again was another reminder of how precious His Word is. This is our love letter from God and we should all feel excited like these women. How precious it was to be the ones privileged to bless these women with His Precious Word.
