You Could Get Your Life Back

Scene from a crime drama —

Detective to suspect in a murder case: “You’re pleading guilty. Why are you doing that? You could at least try to help yourself. If you’d work with your lawyer, plead temporary insanity, you might reduce your sentence. It could take a while, but eventually you could be with your family again. You could get your life back!”

Suspect: “What makes you think I want my life back?”

— You and I know people who live with that perspective.

Help is available.

Even though we are many individuals, Christ makes us one body and individuals who are connected to each other. — Romans 12:5
