A Kind Heart

[Guest guest]

Volunteers for Circle of Love Inside write to a young Christian man

in prison in Indiana. When his buddy Bradley's mother died at the

end of 2005, leaving Bradley with no more family outside prison, our

inmate correspondent told his mom what a hard time Bradley was

having. His mom asked Circle of Love Inside for letters for

Bradley. In fact, Bradley wrote to us himself. Several letter

writers volunteered. On February 3, a letter came from Bradley. He

wrote,

 

"Thank you so much for your help. I have so many people writing to

me. It's more mail than I've ever received since my father died.

It has been one lonely ride. I'm hoping that I can take all of your

kindnesses and use them to make me a kinder person. I am a selfish

and angry young man. I have a kind heart but I have too much pent

up anger."

 

Then he told about a daydream he had about doing a kind deed. The

daydream remnded him of a time when he really did share what he had

with a homeless man. He continued

 

"I do have kindness within me but I'd forgotten how beautiful this

world truly can be. I'm not used to people being kind to me. I've

rarely been given anything in prison, so this letter writing that's

occurred, it's such a blessing. Thank you so much."

 

Circle of Love Inside is now receiving two or three new requests

for letters per day. If you would like to show the love that Amma

has shown to you to one of her children in prison by writing

letters, please contact circleofloveinside
