"Don't do this to us, baby," Sharita pleaded one last time as Porsche walked through the door.
"I gotta tell it, Ma," Porsche said. "I gotta tell the truth. "And don't worry, Ma. You won't be by yourself. And neither will me and Joy. God is gonna be with all of us. With you, with Mercedes and Seville, and even with Vince. None of us will have to fend for ourselves, because God'll be out there fending for us too."
THE END
Even Sinners Have Souls
the poem
by Oscar McLain III
Are we all perfect, and live a life that is righteous
beyond reproach?
Do we stand upon the mountain and cast judgment like
ropes around throats?
Is there any compassion left within this world, which
only sees the almighty green?
Sometimes it seems that people have lost their humanity and
have become mechanical machines.
Touch me and know that I am real.
Touch me and understand that I feel.
Yes, I've done things that make me ashamed.
Yes, I've participated in wrong and I know I need to be changed.
But would you want to be never given a chance to be
forgiven for your sin?
Do you believe that once you've fallen into a hole, you
must always remain within?
Wouldn't you want a person to surround you with the
comforting blanket of love?
Wouldn't you want the redeeming grace of our savior,
Jesus Christ, who reigns from above?
So, know that God's gift has always been His love,
which is more precious than gold.
Let's not be so quick to condemn others, and remember
that even sinners have souls.
Personal Invitation
If you have never made a decision to accept Jesus
Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, God Himself
extends this invitation to you. If you have not trusted Him
and believed Him to be the giver of eternal life, you
can do so right now. We do not know the second, the
minute, the hour, the moment or day that God will
come to claim us. Will you be ready? The Word of God
says, "If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord,
and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the
dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that
you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth
that you confess and are SAVED." (Romans 10:9-10
NIV). Being saved is just that easy. It's not some formal
ceremony. It is simply being obedient to the scripture
above by confessing with your mouth out loud that,
Jesus is Lord and that God raised Jesus from the dead
to cleanse away your sins. Believe in your heart and
confess with your mouth the following:
"I ________________________________ believe in my heart that Jesus is Lord. That He died
at Calvary for me-for the remission of my sins-and that God raised Him from the dead."
YOU, MY FRIEND, ARE NOW SAVED.
YOU ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON YOU WERE BEFORE READING THIS BOOK.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
