" I can't believe you are thinking of food at a time like this" Mark exclaimed in a loud voice. " We might die in here".
" No we won't". Justin pulled a tiny black bible from his back pocket. " The bible says that God will always protect us".
Anita took a plastic fork and put some mashed potatoes into her mouth. " How do you know that?".
Justin turned some pages. " John 3:16".
" What does that verse say?".
" For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life".
Mark rolled his eyes. " Oh brother".
Anita bit into some of the turkey. " God can love even a sinner like me".
" Of course" Justin replied as he took a bit of turkey. " All you have to do is admit that you are a sinner and that you want to change".
Tears began to flow down her face. " I want to".
Mark shook his head. " I don't believe this".
She got down on her knees and bowed her head.
" Tell God that you are a sinner  and that you want to change".
She repeated the words.
" Ask God to come into your heart and be in charge of your life".
She repeated the words as more tears streamed down her face.
" Thank you God Amen".
" Thank you God Amen".
Just then, the elevator opened.
" Sorry folks" said the hotel employee they had seen earlier. " I got it open as quick as I could".
Mark yelled as he walked out. " Get me out of here!".
Justin gave Anita his little black bible. " Anita, welcome to God's family".
" Thank you" she said with joy as she hugged him. She walked out of elevator no.4 with a look of joy and peace on her face.
