Nostalgia- Lurid week 5
This story is based off of stories I read Jesus Freaks by DC Talk and the Voice of the Martyrs.
----------------
I sit in my jail cell. I get on my knees and pray for strength. I know I am about to die, and I want the strength to face my fate with joy in Jesus. After I finish praying, I go lay down and think.
I think back fondly to when I accepted Jesus. I was at school, and there was a girl that I made fun of because she was always reading her Bible and talking about Jesus. She always would smile at me and show me kindness, no matter how cruel I was to her.
I walked up to her and said, "How do you do that!?!"
She smiled at me and said, "Jesus said to love my enemy. He said that the world would hate me because I follow him."
Then I rolled my eyes at her. I walked away from her at that time, but I thought about it all night. I tossed and turned. The next day I walked up to her, "How can I get this joy from Jesus that you have?"
She walked me through the prayer to know Jesus, and I repeated it after her. She hugged me and said, "Congratulations sis!!"
I fondly think about the two years after my salvation when I ran around, reading my Bible and sharing the Gospel freely. I joyfully lived my life publicly and openly for Jesus.
Then the government started making it illegal, and I protested it. I'm knocked out off my reminiscing when a guard shows up to lead me to my death.
