Now that’s a testimony! Keep it up, Jeanine, their innocence is rejoicing.

I will share it with the men we meet with at Clallam Bay, WA. One man recently said he went to a chaplain of another faith to ask for prayer to make contact with his daughter. Within a few weeks he received a letter from the foster family taking care of his daughter. Now he has contact. God does listen!

I am aware that a lot of marriages between an inmate and a spouse usually ends in divorce but this inspiring testimony of how prayer can change the outcome of such things was so great to read and hear about. As Clementine said in her comments, “Loving for the sake of Love is what it’s all about” is so true. We need to follow Christ Jesus’ example and Love one another unconditionally.

The words from I Corinthians on the power of love speak to me about impersonal, unconditional love. To live the essence of this pure love is to not demand or expect love in return. Loving for the sake of Love is what it’s all about. I believe that the inmate let go of any preconceptions of how things should turn out. Ultimately he put his prayer in God’s hands. What a wonderful turn-around of events for him and his wife.
