I just got finished writing a song called "No Other Way". This song was inspired by a family member who recently spent a day in jail due to a road rage fight. As foolish as it may sound her experience was interesting. She told me that as soon as she passed the doorway entry to jail, no one smiles at you, no one says hello, no cares. Most of the workers don't want much to do with you once you're in jail, and no one cares if you're innocent. After listening to this story, my heart sunk. I thought if these people in jail don't have family or friends on the outside, who will care for them? Or help them when they are released from jail? I'm sure many of them have had great lives and loved ones at one point in their lives, but lost everything as they made bad choices.
I remember hearing someone once say when a person repents, God rejoices in heaven. I believe that with all my heart. Despite all the mistakes people make, we can all be forgiven if we come to the one, who can forgive and can make our weaknesses strong, and our sins clean. The Savior has the power to do that because he paid the price for all our sins.
Repentance would not be an easy road. If it were, it wouldn't be worth all the effort, work, heartache, and pain. Correcting our mistakes don't happen overnight or years. Some of our mistakes will take a lifetime to fix, but it is worth every minute.
I wrote "No Other Way" because I want to be like the Savior. I want to repent of all my sins and come to Christ. I want the Savior to teach me how to repent, repair, and love. Christ is amazing!!! Every day of my life testifies that He is real. "No Other Way" is how we can change our lives, and follow the Savior. Stay tuned for my new song "No Other Way" coming soon.
