Amen ladies, Amen !! There were not many followers of Christ who did not go to prison , or have heartaches and hardships. To be incarcerated for doing nothing wrong, God has that covered as well.
Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:4 ESV
That speaks volumes of who God uses to reveal himself. I am so looking forward to hearing back from mine.
John 16:33—I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
Thank you for this reminder. I just heard a podcast interview with on of the J6 prisoners who said that letters and prayers are what has been keeping them going (https://wethepeopleconvention.org/articles/TomZ-Interview-with-Jake-Lang-May17th). And some of the most powerful testimonies have come from people who have criminal pasts. Shane Jenkins has been been encouraging his Christian brothers in the D.C. Gulag and started Operation Love Wins that has enabled them to received visits from their families. Charles Colson started Prison Fellowship after spending time in jail, a ministry that not only shows emotional and spiritual support to prisoners, but also physical support to their spouses and children. We should also keep in mind that, in this current climate, any one of us might end up in their situation if we get on the wrong side of the accepted narrative. If we don't stand up for fair treatment for those in prison, who will be there for us? Thank you, and God bless you for keeping these men and women in remembrance.
Wonderful points and additions to this post! And thank you for the reminder of Chuck Colson (I think I’ll add Prison Fellowship to the links in the post!).
