Johnny Cash is a country music icon and one of the best selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. However, Johnny was not always riding high. Hitting bottom, under the influence of drugs and intending to commit suicide, Johnny walked deep into Tennessee's Nickajack Cave and passed out. Upon regaining consciousness and emerging from the darkness of the cave, He described his exit as his own spiritual rebirth feeling the presence of God. He summarized his life as follows: "I have tried drugs and a little of everything else, and there is nothing in the world more soul-satisfying than having the kingdom of God building inside you and growing." Johnny also described how hope remains even in serious failure in the following statement: "No matter how much you've sinned, no matter how much you've stumbled, no matter how much you fall, no matter how far you've got from God, don't give up. You can still be redeemed. As someone says, keep the faith." Have you hit rock bottom? According to Johnny Cash, who's been there, there is still hope in Jesus.
