ABOUT THIS PAGE - Bob and Charlyne Care

Much of what we do is measured against how it would have affected us when we were divorced, and then after we remarried. Had there been an active Internet fifteen years ago, it is doubtful that Bob would be home today, had things been displayed such  as some message we receive each day.

We receive many notices of spouses coming home each week. From that joyful date, it is going to take the couple about two years to heal the hurts, forget that other person, and to reconcile. Only then will they be ready to help other couples. As Charlyne teaches, standing
really starts when the prodigal walks in the door.

We will never harm a struggling couple by publishing a premature restoration report. We hear of too many standers whose spouse leaves again, because too much was being said. When a report of a spouse coming home is selected for publication, specific details are first removed.

These pages are not intended to be a report of all Rejoice restored marriages. Neither are they trophies for this Ministry. They are published to give you hope and encouragement to continue to stand for God's Best. Reports of the victories of others is your dessert. First you need the meat of the Word of God. Build your stand on Him, and not on other people.

Bob and Charlyne

"After nearly four years of standing, my wife asked me to move back in with her. We're both believers and have both been about as full of sin as we could be. When God did the heart work on both of us, He brought us back together. Things are still tenuous and she's watching me
carefully to see the change, but praise Him we are back on the road together." (Texas)

"Praises to God, I returned home to my wife after being a prodigal. I thank God that she was a stander and had faith that God was the redeemer of our marriage. I knew who God is, but on my own accord, I decided to live the lifestyle that I wanted to live. I was being led by Satan to believe that God would forgive me for leaving my spouse, and bless me with the other woman. How mistaken I was. God placed all kind of obstacle in the path of my defying His word. Thank You, God, for my wife and thank You for giving me another chance." (Louisiana)

"Since my husband came back last July, I went through many different emotions and trials, but I kept praying. I kept asking God to improve me, and I left everything up to Him. My husband and I took a two day trip on our own last weekend. He gave me an early birthday present, gold earrings, and told me that I am his one and only best friend and he is happy he has me. We'll need more time to heal wounds in our hearts, but I am confident that God will heal us soon. Thanks for your prayers. I believe in God's power." (California)

"When my husband left, it was the worst time of my life. I couldn't eat or sleep. One Saturday night, I told God that it was too much for me. I felt like I couldn't take it anymore. The Charlyne Cares message that next morning said that even though this is the darkest hour, God promises that the joy comes in the morning to those who wait patiently for Him. At 5:30 AM I heard the voice of the Lord ask me to wait just a little longer. I starting thinking about how special my husband is and how much I love him. That same morning, I got an email from him and spoke to him on the phone. He told me that what he did was wrong and he didn't expect me to wait for him. When I told him that I forgave him and changed my own ways and was ready to take him back anytime with open arms, he thanked me for waiting for him and believing in him. Two days later, he bought a ticket home. It has been six months. He has really matured into a man of God and my spiritual leader and we are now pregnant with a baby girl. I could have let the bitterness and anger set in and we wouldn't have this awesome and love filled marriage today!" (Colorado)

"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun." Psalm 37:5

"We did it!! The divorce from the non-covenant was final last week and we were married on Monday. I can't thank God enough for you and your teachings during this time. He truly led me to you and I am so grateful. I knew I wanted to wait on (my husband) to come home, but I
didn't understand how long or how hard it would be. It took him over 5 years to come home and we had no contact during that time. But we are doing fine now and I know God will continue to help us heal. One of these days I hope we can come to Pompano Beach so that you can meet him. He is really a great guy and I know you would like him. I do have a prayer request, too. (My prayer partner) has stood with me during this time and she is very happy for us. But I know it is also hard for her. Please pray that her husband will also 'come to his senses' and come home. She has been standing for 9 years and I know it is hard for her. Again, thank you for being there. I know that you are doing God's work and you are blessing many people. Keep it up - there are too many people out there who need to know the truth." (Pennsylvania)

"Praise the Living Lord, my husband is home! Thank you for your uplifting messages and insight into the prodigal mind. He is now home and leading our family in worship and God has turned him into a mighty man of God. God is faithful." (Texas)

"Using one of your favorite words, my husband 'suddenly' told me he wants us to get married again. On Valentine's Day he ordered me new rings. We are like a couple teenagers and he has talked more to me in the last 11 days than he did in over 28 years. God never gives up on us and He wants us to never give up on our spouses. 'Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.' Proverbs 19:21" (West Virginia)

"I am praising God because I just moved back home. My wife divorced me just over a year ago. I tried the divorce recovery group and the singles group at church. It didn't take long to figure out I didn't belong there. You have been my only support in standing for my marriage. There were many times I wanted to give up but I knew I couldn't because I knew it would mean giving up my family. Please pray that the Lord would continue restoring our marriage and our family." (Connecticut)

For all those out there -- please wait and trust God. Stop the fighting, the arguing, the accusations. Pray and let the fragrance of God's love fill your homes. I thought that I was going to begin the new year with the fear of getting divorce, but now I am entering the new year with him at my side and at home.

"The sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the Lord, saying, 'Give thanks to the Lord Almighty, for the Lord is good; his love endures forever." For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,' says the Lord." Jeremiah 33:11

"I have a praise report after 15 months of waiting and praying, my husband came home to a loving, changed woman. God worked on me mercifully and He is currently working on changes and healing in my husband. It is scary, confusing and unnerving at times because I don't know what to do or say but I do know that the Lord is with me and drawing my husband nearer to Him. We are learning to love each other again. Without your ministry I could not have waited. Without you devotions I could not have made it! God is using you mightily and I will pass on your website to anyone I can. Thank you so much and all glory and honor be to the Lord our God!"

"You have been praying for my husband and I about a month. We were remarried yesterday. I have also told him about your ministry." (Arkansas)

"I want to thank you for your ministry. God led me to your site when I was losing hope and ready to give up on my marriage. I give Him all the glory. He brought my husband home last Friday. My husband told me he's very thankful that I didn't give up on him. Thank you for showing me that it's God's will to make a stand for my marriage covenant. God is so good. He remained faithful until He brought everything back to their righteous state." (California)

"I have just come back from church and a couple who were involved in counseling told me that they were getting married again after four years of divorce. God is so good." (South Wales U.K.)

"Saturday my husband told me he still loves me and wants to give us another chance. God is so wonderful. I was at my very lowest, my faith was so low and I thought about giving up. I was living in only what I was seeing and not giving God the chance to work on the marriage.
Praise the Lord is all I can say." (Alabama)

"I would like to let you know how much your ministry has meant to me. My husband and his girlfriend have ended their relationship. She has called me and told me that mine and my daughters prayers have worked PTL! My husband and I are talking again, the divorce was suppose to be final on October 23rd and wasn't and he now has asked if we could wait and see what happens. He has also asked if we could start seeing each other more and he told me that he still loves me. My situation to everyone seemed hopeless, even to me most of the time, so I would like to remind everyone that our God is a good God and is faithful." (Texas)

"We have been back together over two years now and had another child. To this day I am just amazed and so thankful to the Lord for how He restored my marriage and it is better than it ever was. I do not think I would have known there was a chance for my marriage if I hadn't
found your ministry. To anyone who is standing for the healing of your marriage please never give up and God will do it." (New York)

"My husband and I are back together. Praise God. It happened just like you said it would, fast and unexpected. There was a lot of hurting and loneliness, when it was all said and done, it really wasn't that long. The Lord transformed me from this hateful person who was always
yelling, to this loving, caring, person. I am now the wife that he not only deserves, but always wanted. I cannot take any credit with this as it is only by the grace of God that changed me. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement during my trial." (Tennessee)

"Thank you for the benefit (of) you sharing your heart with me during the last few years. As a family, we are all growing closer and we will be greatly strengthened because of this trial. There are great things for all of us because of your faithfulness. (Husband) does not fully understand the depth of your obedience just yet. He will not be prepared for the many blessings that await him when he comes home. This is uncharted territory for all of us, but I wouldn't miss this adventure for anything. God is establishing (husband's) home, and now he is coming home."

"I need to update that praise report I sent yesterday. My repentant prodigal is home! He called last night to tell me thank you, again, for being so nice to him. He was very emotional, saying he wasn't worthy of another chance. He refused to come over, but I finally told him I was turning on the porch light and would keep it on until he took that step of faith we had talked about earlier. He was here an hour later. He said as soon as he saw me yesterday he knew I was the only real thing in his life.( That counterfeit thing you talk about Bob!) He told me he loves me, put his wedding ring back on, said he is completely committed to making this marriage work, and wants us to get counseling. Praise the Lord! He is awesome indeed!"

"Praise The Lord! My husband returned home after being absent from our family for over 2 years. We are working things out and are going to attend a marriage course at our church. God is so good! (Maryland)

"I am praising God. My wife, in-home prodigal, who has been adamant about me leaving our house, speaking divorce and separation, asked me last night if I would be willing to stay and share expenses. She spoke with a softness not seen in months. I know God is doing heart surgery. How timely your devotion from yesterday about standers living at home. Thank you but, even more, thank God Almighty." (Ohio)

"When my stand was just beginning, I received some nice dresses from my sister. One was a beautiful ivory one. When I tried it on, I pictured myself renewing my vows in it and prayed that would come to reality one day. My prodigal returned ten months ago, but I never told him of that prayer request. Monday he asked if I would like to renew our vows next month on our anniversary. He has already contacted our preacher & reserved the church for that day! We called our family and all are almost as excited as we are. 'All things are possible to him who believes.' All praise and glory belong to God." (Texas)

"Praise God for His Word and thank God for Rejoice Ministries that helped me 'stand' during our separation. After 32 years of marriage I was asked to leave. Praise the Lord I am back 'home' and my husband and I are in church and praying together. There is still much work to restore the faith and trust that the months of separation cost, but we are all WORKS IN PROCESS. Thank you for your encouragement and prayers. Your books and tapes helped me keep on keeping on in prayer when it would have been easier to listen to my worldly friends. Thank you and God bless you and this ministry."

My husband came back on my birthday. It has been so wonderful to have him home. Please pray for us. God is working every day. He is faithful. God bless you all. I will keep praying for all marriages."  (Florida)

"To make a long story short my husband has gone to stop the divorce today. My marriage was dead and God has brought it back alive. I never thought that my husband would come back home. Never give up because God is right there with you holding your marriage together." (Maine)

"Thursday (husband) came to me and begged for my forgiveness. He said that he had been so wrong and he would do anything to have me and our daughters back. He had to reach his own rock bottom before he looked to the Lord and begged for help. The Lord has truly answered my
prayers. Your daily Charlyne Cares have been a life saver. You have helped me change my life." (North Carolina)

"I am a stander from Guatemala. I love your ministry and Charlyne Cares, because by reading these messages my soul was comforted. The Lord worked in me and after trying to make all perfect by my own strength, the Lord taught me to lean on Him and look to Him. On our 14th anniversary, my husband came back to our home as a surprise, loving me as never before, and that is only the Lord`s work. My husband has been touched and changed by the Lord. Praise the Lord!" (Guatemala)

"I want to share about a restored marriage in Georgia from my home church. We all grew up together. This couple were separated 3-4 years ago and have been divorced for 2 years. The wife stayed in our church and her husband left. Both of their parents are still part of our
congregation there. His parents prayed all this time for their restoration. I have prayed and had them on my heart all this time. Two weeks ago they were remarried. I consider it a privilege to have stood for their marriage and to see the answer to those prayers be manifested. Praise God, His promises are true." (Tennessee)

"My husband has been home since September. God is working in our lives. He brought a new job to my husband. It would be easy to say everything is perfect. I have to rely on God's calling in my life to continue to change our family. We spend New Year's playing a kid's game with our daughter. I thank God for allowing that night to happen. I pray Ephesians the sword of the spirit over my family each day and while my husband was gone. I committed to teaching Sunday School at our church. He reminded me what is most important; my family. I have to shut my mouth when I get angry and thank God instead of wanting things my way. I have to remember, 'I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me.' He is restoring my family." (Nevada)

"On September 7 my spouse came home. I found out that he had been doing a lot of thinking and that he wanted to work on us getting back together. I prayed scriptures with (husband's) name and my name in them, for us both to be changed. Praise God, He gave me a new home and my husband back! God is faithful to His word; it will not return back void." (Tennessee)

"I have a praise report. After 15 months of waiting and praying, my husband came home to a loving, changed woman. God worked on me mercifully and He is currently working on changes and healing in my husband. It is scary, confusing and unnerving at times because I don't know what to do or say, but I do know that the Lord is with me and drawing my husband nearer to Him. We are learning to love each other again. Without your devotions I could not have made it!"

One night I was crying and begging God to let me know what to do in my marriage. I was sitting in front of my computer and felt led to look for help. I came across your web site, and it was my answer. I love so much what you are doing. Thank you God for sending me here. Your web site has taught me a lot and has led me to pray for my spouse. He decided yesterday to put his ring back on, and to come home. He has slowly been getting closer to me and the kids. He agreed to counseling. God has been so faithful. A small group I am in at church has told me the change they have seen in my faith. Praise God again. He is the only way out of the misery this world brings. I hope that anyone who doesn't want to forgive or forget, or is crying in misery will remember Jesus. He is the way maker. I wish I would have realized this sooner." (Indiana)

"I was just about ready to give up this past Summer. I had been standing for 15 months. I had the divorce papers ready to type up and the typewriter jammed and would not type! A friend of mine gave me the name of Rejoice Ministries. I called them and decided to pray for my marriage to be restored (at the time I was very angry and disappointed in God). I kept going to the meetings and praying scripture having only faith that the Word of God would not return void. I prayed Scripture for myself too. I felt a change in me."

"As Charlyne teaches, our stand should continue till the day we die. Don't give up - your miracle could be just around the corner. God will honor His Word. I nearly gave up and would have missed out on the good relationship my husband and I are now enjoying."

"May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you. Then the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God, will bless us. God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him." Psalm 67:5-7

"My prodigal is coming home next week. There were times when I almost wanted to give up, but God never gave up on us. Truly with God all things are possible, even as they seemed impossible to us, divorce papers had been filed. All glory be to God." (Australia)

"I just wanted to say thank you and praise the Lord. My husband left me for another woman. After standing for my marriage and with the help of your ministry my husband returned home October 2001. I still read your messages and just wanted to let you know how much it helped me in my life. May God bless you both."

"...They will know that I am the Lord when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them." Ezekiel 34:27

 "I have been so blessed. My husband had moved back home, but in less than two weeks was seeing the other woman again. Many were the times I was tempted to stand up for myself, but God always reminded me that He was my defender. Last night my husband told me that she was out of the picture for good! He will be attending church with us on Christmas Eve for the first time in over a year. God is so faithful." (Ohio)

"I stood in the gap with the Lord and proclaimed my husband would come home. My husband moved back in after being away for several months and our divorce was due to be over. I praise the Lord (husband) moved all his belongings and a change of heart back into our home! Thank you for standing in the gap with me and supporting and feeding my weary soul through this struggle." (Texas)

"God bless you. I need to share with you and all of those men and women who are waiting for the restoration of their marriages -- TRUST GOD and WAIT. My husband and I were at the brink of divorce. I had become depressed, desperate and was losing faith -- I even became suicidal -- yes, how we sometimes open doors to satan and how fast he works to try to destroy us. However, one night at work, I was browsing through the Christian sites and found your site. I read and printed out the Standers Affirmation. Despite the fact that my husband kept telling me that he no longer loved me and to please come to terms with truth and reality and let go, I then decided to go unto my God and Savior and plea for the restoration of my marriage. He was having an affair and I felt in my heart that my marriage was over. He would humiliate me and tell me all sorts of hurting things. I in turn would tell him that I loved him and that I needed him. I then decided to keep silent and let God take over. As I prayed I told the Lord to help me accept the truth. I then confronted him and told him that even though I loved him and wanted my family and marriage to be restored but that I was going to let him go being that he felt he had found happiness and love. To my surprise he bowed his head and told me that he was not going to let his family go for anyone. I told him that I forgave him and that we needed to forget the past and start a new life. He agreed.

 "Praise God, my prodigal came home a month ago. He says he knows that the Lord brought him back and that he is here to stay. God is doing an awesome work in both of us. My husband has developed a fierce appetite for the Lord. Thanks you for your books, and the daily encouragement. God bless you both." (Delaware)

"My husband and I have been separated for 11 months. We have been talking and he has told me that he wanted to come home. On my birthday my prodigal called me at 1:30 AM and asked if he could come over. I said, 'Of course I don't mind.' He came over and stayed Wednesday and Thursday. Friday he brought his clothes home. He asked me if I could take a few days off from work to go away with him. The Lord opened the doors for me to get away with my husband. We talked and talked and he is so opened about everything, (he was not before). He asked me to forgive him and said that he never wants to leave home again. I give praise to God above and thanks Rejoice Ministries for their prayers and support. God bless you and please, don't ever give up! God is listening and wants to bring marriages together again." (Florida)

"Thanks to God, my husband and I restored our marriage. My intention was to divorce him for infidelity and abandoning me with two children. In a desperate search to save my marriage, the Lord led me to your web site.

"I sent Rejoice a prayer request and subscribed to Charlyne Cares. You replied with an email stating that forgiveness was the first step. I entered an agreement to stand for our marriages with a friend of mine at work who is newly divorced. We met daily to pray, share, and encourage each other. My prodigal returned home last Thursday after five months of separation. Our God is truly an awesome God! The Lord showed me that a large part of the problem in my marriage was me. I was able to see how harmful my un-forgiveness had been on my marriage. I also prayed that God would allow me to see my husband as he sees him. I thank God for your ministry. You have been a source of encouragement, hope, and an education in faith! My personal relationship with the Lord is richer as a result of your teaching and sharing. I continue to stand for my family and others around the world. I thank God for you and your ministry and for being the children of God that you are. I am unable to express my heartfelt gratitude in this email. I look forward to meeting you and worshiping with you in Nashville in November. I thank God and I thank you." (Tennessee)

"I am so excited! My husband came home. He had been gone since October, but began telling me that he loved me and being in contact with me on a regular basis. He told me earlier this month that he wanted to come home. At this point, I am just trusting in God. He has not forsaken me yet and I know He will give me the strength to endure whatever comes." (Georgia)

"I divorced my husband, was convicted and began a stand. At some point, he and I began dating again but, all the while, I was thinking of fleeing again. I kept visiting your site and reading Charlyne Cares anyway. God was always pulling. I earnestly looked for Bob's input
there because he had been in the far country. Thank you, Charlyne and Bob, from the bottom of my heart. My husband and I are beginning counseling and have plans to remarry much to the happiness of our nine year old son." (Ohio)

"I praise our Lord Jesus Christ, because after eight months of separation my wife told me to reunite again. The Lord is good. We are going to renew our wedding vows soon." (New York)

"My husband and I are back together after being apart for over a year. Pray for our marriage and for our little boys." (Louisiana)

"Please pray for our Lord's step by step direction and protection as we enter into reconciliation and remarriage. My husband and I were married for 32 years. A terrible time of tribulation ended in a divorce..a tragedy..but our Precious Lord has heard our cries. Our anguish..and has forgiven us. We have returned to our Lord, now the journey back to each other has begun. We appreciate your prayers. "My husband and I have had a lot of trouble, so much that I moved out for a couple of months, always with the intent for things to work out. Before I went back home I found your Web site and God through you helped me to continue to stand. Your e-mails were such a blessing. Many times I could not take any more and your e-mail would encourage me to hold on, or to look to my own heart. Praise God, he "came home!" I even told him, 'Welcome home." (Indiana)

"My husband and I are starting life anew. I was in such shock on Christmas Eve when my husband wanted to stay at our house after opening gifts with our children and actually wanted me by his side. We talked for hours. He wanted to stay home. There is much healing that
will need to take place, but the joy far outweighs the sorrow. I kept clinging to the message that God is in control." (Ohio)

"Thank you for sharing God's Word, truth and encouragement. The scripture each day speaks to my heart. My husband of 24 years has been gone for over 5 months. Three weeks ago he came to assurance of salvation for the first time in his 45 years. I've seen a change. We both hope and pray that we will be able to rebuild our marriage and family with God's help." (Minnesota)

 "God does answer our prayers. I divorced my husband two years ago. I believed everyone when they said he would never change and I even gave up on waiting for God to work in his life. I loved him and so wanted for our marriage to work. We dated and made a few attempts in ourselves to try to pull things together again. These failed miser-ably. God sent a friend my way. She introduced me to your ministry. With God's help, her prayers, and your daily encouragement, I began my stand for the restoration of my marriage and my husband to Christ. In April my husband had a heart attack and our circumstances seemed even more serious. Two weeks ago, my husband moved out of the situation he was in. He is now situated in our home and soon I will be situated there also. We have a long road ahead and thank God for your book' Standing after the Prodigal returns' Had I not have read this, our first two weeks would probably have already been miserable, instead I have been able to deal with these issues in a different light and pray through a lot of them. I thank God daily for bringing us back together and know that soon my husband will again be the man of God he is meant to be." (Oklahoma)

"I was served with divorce papers the day after Christmas. The final hearing was two days after Easter. One week later my husband decided it was wrong what he was doing and wanted to return to his family. My marriage is now restored and we are working towards building a better life with God's grace." (Florida)

"I thank the Lord for doing a mighty work in my marriage. I found your web site and have been blessed and encouraged not to give up on my marriage. My spouse was unfaithful last year and I forgave him and he stayed in the marriage. He is a unbeliever. I'm praying for him daily. We have been married almost 13 years. Without God's divine healing and hand in our lives we would not have stayed together. Today I can say I love my spouse and He has chosen to love and take care of me and our kids. He chose not to leave me too. Our relationship is healing and we are closer to each other and working on our marriage. I'm trusting Jesus everyday and I'm walking by faith and not by sight. I love the Lord and praise Him for what He is doing in my spouse's life and mind. Thank You Jesus because I have prayed and chosen not to give up and to see that the Lord is faithful and hears our prayers." (Hawaii)

"My prodigal has asked me to remarry him. PTL! We have been divorced for four years. He has been promoted and is moving 2 hours away. Since I have had my stroke, and my partners have terminated my employment with them, I am free to pick up and move. Otherwise, I'd still be under contract with them. I knew God had a plan when I had my stroke 3 months ago. Yes, Bob, soon I will stand in church and tell of how God has healed my marriage. You'll are like parents to me." (Texas)

"I have seen and been a witness to the miracle of a restored marriage! We were divorced in 2000, and praise God we will be getting remarried! The theme of our wedding/praise and worship service is 'Amazing Grace'. Through God's grace, we have seen His infinite wisdom and
experienced His healing and restoration! I had to get out of God's way so He could work the situation out where He would be glorified. I praise God for your faithfulness in helping people like me." (Kansas)

"The divorce my husband filed was set to be final. On Thursday, after many legal maneuvers, my Husband agreed to dismiss the Divorce. Praise the Lord! I went to the hearing and the Judge entered the dismissal with prejudice! He and I spoke of how few times a divorce is dismissed and he was glad to see a reconciliation! I sat through two other divorces while the order was being prepared in his chambers, and this Judge, seeing our reconciliation, encouraged the other couples to reconsider and to take time. Neither of them took his advice, but maybe he will keep on making these suggestions and others can be saved through him. God is so great." (Florida) (This stander is an attorney.)

"Your ministry was the first thing I found the night I prayed for guidance on what the Lord wanted me to do in marriage. I was separated 16 months from a 23 year marriage. Your e-mail encouraged me so much through this journey. I know that the Lord will bless you abundantly
for your unconditional love to his families. My husband is home. Yes Bob, he is wounded but praise God He will finish what He started. Every day God is giving me miracles through my husband. He also came home physically needing help. I consider it an honor to be there for
him. You sent me your book on God does heal hurting marriages and hurting bodies. What a BLESSING !!!I know the Lord will restore his health totally!!! PRAISE GOD MY MIRACLE CAME HOME!!! In fact I told my husband that today!!! The day before he came home he said "You do
realize that I am coming home with nothing, do you understand that?" I said "Probably more than you may think I do." One day he will read and hear the tapes of what I had learned while he was gone. Right now I am not asking questions just listening. It is an honor to wait on him and care for him."

"My husband is now back at home and staying in the spare room. He says the affair is now over. Praise the Lord. I am believing that our marriage will be fully restored and most importantly that my husband will be saved. God is truly working in our lives." (England

"Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." Hebrews 3:15. --- Christ loves you!
