He was a prisoner, but actually he was Free now since he had given his Life to Jesus. He wished his pastor dad could have known Of his transformation before he died. On the funeral day of his father the inmate walked Into the enclosed prison yard and looked Skyward. He was surprised to see an unusual rainbow, Not in an arc shape but in a circle around The sun. The man felt suddenly at peace, as though His dad were telling him, "All is well, son. I'm waiting for you." It was at a prison outreach that the Captive shared his inspiring story with a Friend of mine who has a passion for sharing Jesus with incarcerated men. The two of them were assigned to the same Table for lunch, and when they sat down, the Inmate stared intently at his place mat. It was one of many that had been decorated by School children and distributed among The tables. The drawing on this prisoner's mat depicted a Rainbow, an unusual one that circled the Sun. As the man absorbed the wonder of the image, It was a sign to him that though he was in Prison, he was not forgotten, and Though he no longer had a father, he was Still deeply loved. |
