Charlyne Cares is a daily reminder that God cares and that we care about your marriage. Each morning Charlyne sends a devotional and Bob does a Prodigal Perspective on Tuesdays. These come from someone who has experienced the tragedy of divorce and the triumph of a family restored by God speaking to Charlyne's heart not to give up on their marriage after she divorced Bob.
"My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever." Psalm 145:21
Each Saturday we share excerpts from a few of the testimonies the Ministry has received that week. These are passed along to encourage you that God is moving, not to be examples of what you should or should not be doing.
Look what the Lord has done -
"When I prayed about some form of communication from my husband on my birthday if it was God's will, I had no idea He would do it and in a much different way than I thought. My husband called me and asked to stop by and get his mail. He did, told me happy birthday a few times and visited with our family. What a blessing to see my beloved. Thank You, God." (Texas)
"I had been keeping two sets of mis-matched socks for months in case the matching ones showed up. They showed up this week and I now have two new pairs. Praise God that He speaks to us in so many ways and that He sorts out the mis-matches of adultery, even while we cannot see the work going on." (United Kingdom)
"My husband asked me for dinner at my favorite restaurant and told me he broke up with the other woman. He said God has been speaking to him about our marriage. Praise the Lord who is softening his hard heart! I will wait on the Lord. He is mighty to save." (Washington)
"I have been praying for my sister's marriage. She called yesterday to share that God was revealing her husband’s past. We are believing God to heal her husband and restore their marriage." (Alabama)
"Thursday I received a call from a creditor threatening to seize my appliance for the debt. I prayed and the Lord told me to call my prodigal and tell him about it. I did and my prodigal paid most of it. To God be the glory. My prodigal still cares." (Jamaica)
"My anniversary came. I was walking out of church and thinking of the importance of the day. When I looked across the street, I noticed a Covenant Transport truck passing by. That was my confirmation that God was thinking of the covenant that my husband and I once made." (California)
"Thank you so much to everyone at Rejoice Marriage Ministries. I have been feeling down and discouraged this past week and your email have given me renewed determination to persevere. My son and I read 'Charlyne Cares for Kids' together tonight which was an encouragement for us both. I pray that in God's perfect timing our 'suddenly' will come." (United Kingdom)
"To God be the glory. I have gone from no contact with my husband to us now texting each other at least once a week. He even turned to me to pray and help him with an urgent matter. God is going to have the final say in this restoration." (New York)
"I would like to thank the Lord for all He has done for me. There is increased communication between my husband with deep sharing from His heart to mine, though He is still in the far country, He has confessed that He is very unhappy. The Lord also miraculously touched my car of a mechanical problem that had not been able to be fixed for a year. After crying out to the Lord in prayer the condition totally disappeared." (Tanzania)
"A man who was not a believer joined my church. He felt like church had the answers for his problems. I was asked to meet with him man-to-man. No one knew that he was a prodigal. We began a journey of him coming to Christ then reconciling with his wife. They had been divorced. Today I saw him. They are together working towards remarriage." (Washington)
"I am standing with my daughter-in-law for her marriage with my son. I am a team truck driver with my husband. It was night time in Tennessee as she and I were talking the phone. I didn't pass a Covenant truck. I passed the Covenant headquarters in Chattanooga. God is working. (Ohio) (A Bobservation - I just realized the first Rejoice billboard about 15 years ago was alongside the same Interstate as the headquarters this stander is writing about, and was located a few miles from them. You can read what these trucks mean to some standers from- http://rejoiceministries.org/covenant_transport.php
"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." II Peter 3:8-9

"My husband came home suddenly two weeks ago. I am so grateful to God. I stood on the promise of that little mustard seed and miracles started happening everywhere in my life, not only my marriage is healed, but also my family is healing." (New York)
"Praise God, I did not give up on my spouse. God wouldn't let me even though almost daily I begged Him to give me permission to let go. He promised me that my husband would be His and I held on to that promise. God was faithful and saw me through these hard times. Today my husband is home with me and my children, attends church with us, and is being transformed. Thank You Jesus." (Virginia)
