Almost twenty-six years have gone by since my arrest for a string of brutal crimes...
And God knows the sorrow I have because of what I did, and for the innocent lives that were lost. I would give my life to undo the damage, if I could. But this is not possible.
However, in the midst of my own spiritual darkness and demonic despair, Jesus Christ reached out and touched my heart with the most tender and perfect love that I have ever known. God has been merciful to me. It is a mercy I certainly do not deserve, and I never will. Yet, the Lord Jesus invited me to come to Him. He washed away all my sins with His own blood. And he healed my mind. He has also given me a whole new life (2 Corinthians 5:17), even in prison.
Moreover, maybe there is someone who has read my online testimony or who is now reading this journal, who thinks you have done too many bad things to ever be forgiven. Well, I am a living witness that your belief is not true. The fact is, God loves you. You are precious to Him, and He wants you to come to Jesus to have your sins removed (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9, Psalm 103:12).
Please think about what I am saying. If God can forgive me, He can and will forgive anyone, if they ask Him to. Imagine this: God has taken me from being a murderer and has made me into a minister of His love.
Christ wants to change your life, too. So have a talk with Him. Share what's on your heart. Be open and sincere, for God already knows everything about you anyhow. And He will never turn away from you or reject you either (Hebrews 13:5).
