What do you call it when a woman finds freedom in prison? Hi, I’m LysaTerKeurst for Proverbs 31 Ministries.
I sat in a hushed courtroom, tears rolling down my cheeks, as my dear friend learned she’d be going to prison.Tina had been caught up in a real estate scheme she never fully understood and would pay a steep price. This precious mother of two was now prisoner number 4579942.
But, beauty came from brokenness.
After being incarcerated several months, Tina wrote and said, “I’m doing well! God’s using me to share the love of Jesus with other women. And, He’s helped me let go of things I hadn’t even realized held me captive for so many years. The absolute terror I felt about prison has been surrendered and in its place is a strength, peace, and hope for the future!”
So what do you call it when a woman goes to prison and finds freedom from her real bondage? Grace. You call it grace! For more, visit proverbs31.org.
