    Holding the hands of a HIV + girl !!!!!!!


As You all must be aware of ! I am involved in a ministry that helps and councils the prostitute girls in prison. Every girl pretty and young ...hardly anyone elder than me. One among them is Neelam ( name changed ) appeared progressively loosing weight and was looking very slothful.

As was my regular habit to take a Bible verse and teach them with  a few illustrations... I could find Neelam not much attentive as She used to be other times. yes something to share here..its being constructive by the Grace of God !!! Was talking to the girls about Simon the leper, so had to use the word 'officer' instead of  Pharisee .... I was slightly disturbed though ...that my good girl neelam wasn't concentrating in what I was telling...She only smiled when I cracked jokes!!! So, around 4 pm we were supposed to wind up the class. It was then that she came to me and held my hand ....swinging it with hers and began speaking to me ...She pulled me up to a private conversation  and asked me to pray for her. She insisted that I pray for her health. I too had recognized that and not realizing that it was after all a prison ... I told her to eat well...then added that if you want to get released alive than die here due to health complications...eat well...

She shared with me the menu item that the prison people were giving her personally ..it included Milk, Channa and egg. She added " didi, mujhe boiled egg pasand nehi..isliye omlet dete hai".
holding my hands until the entrance of the gate ...She waved a bye .....

As we were walking out with my friends outside the prison gate...asked my friend why did u give Neelam extra biscuit packet ..is She seriously unwell ???? My friend replied ...

yes ! She is HIV+!!!!!!!

So next week will meet her again and share the love of Christ to her !!!
