Do you long for freedom? Do you yearn deep in your heart to know Jesus on a deep, intimate level? Do you constantly fail and relapse into old habits and sin-sick routines? Do you know in your head that He loves you, but can’t see it with your heart? Would it help to have someone who’s been where you are to take your hand and walk you to where you long to be?
Melissa is such a one. I’ve known her for over 6 years. When God brought our paths to cross, I was so encouraged to meet someone who had failed in all the ways I had and who still stumbled at times in one way or another, but she stood in faith and received from Him the grace I couldn’t comprehend. She pointed me back to Him again and again and never shamed me for my weakness.
She was a sister and friend to me like few others have been. She pointed me back to Jesus in every conversation. She fostered within me the courage I needed to approach Him again and helped set the resolve within my heart to follow Him despite myself. She is called to this; to bring those of us who are hopelessly lost to come to the Hope that is Him.
