The most exciting thing we have an opportunity to witness at Vision of Hope is the salvation of hurting young ladies. When a lady enters our program without hope – and without Christ in her life – it is the most joyful, awesome experience to see her receive Salvation through Christ alone by choosing to accept Him as her Savior and Lord. The joy and freedom that comes from that decision is life-changing, and we are so thankful to have the opportunity to watch this Salvation transform lives!
One of our residents recently received the freeing gift of Salvation! Moved by this newfound freedom, she wrote a poem that she would like to share with you. Join with me in praise to our Father!
A Letter to My Idols
You have controlled
I have obeyed
You convinced my heart
of your cruel way
You have tortured and tricked me
You’ve caused much despair
You’ve lied about God
and told me He’s not there!
But I know the truth now
It’s here in His Word
Yes, I am complete now
Bought back from your curse!
No more will I listen
No more be your slave
No more let you torture
No more tempt the grave
I have a choice now
I see the two paths
You are still an option
But Truth wins at last!
You have controlled
I have obeyed
You convinced my heart
of your cruel way
But now you see
I’m done with you!
I have a new Master
And His Word is true!
I am set free now
A child of the King
Bought back and precious
Finally able to sing!
