He became so __2.__ that he was afraid he would spend his life __3.__ and would no longer be able to use his life in a(n) __4.__ way.

One day, he remembered how he had always loved getting __5.__. He realized that he still had partial __6.__ of his right hand and could write with __7.__. Then, he had an idea. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”

He __8.__ where he could find those who could be encouraged if they read his letters. He thought of people in __9.__. Many of them had hope of regaining their __10.__. Others would keep feeling depressed and remain put away for the rest of their lives. He decided that he must try to __11.__ them. So he wrote to a prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied that writing to the prisoners would be __12.__. However, it would be against prison rules for the prisoners to write back.

__13.__ with the intention, the man began sending __14.__ messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, __15.__ his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words, __16.__ his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.

It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of any__17.__. Frequently, he felt discouraged, wondering if anyone __18.__ read his letters. However, this was his __19.__  chance，so he determined to continue.

At last, he received a letter from the prison officer, which said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell (牢房) to cell until they almost fall to __20.__!”
