Wrongfully Convicted Man Forgives Crooked Cop
Jameel McGee’s life didn’t get off to the best start. He grew up in an abusive home, but he was determined not to let that pattern continue with him.
So when Jameel had a baby boy, he vowed to do better, but one night when everything changed. Jameel was buying milk for his baby boy when the next thing he knew he was being arrested for drug possession by police officer Andrew Collins. Jameel knew he was innocent but it was his word against Andrew’s and, ultimately, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Jameel vowed to get revenge on the officer who put him in there. What he didn’t know was how Andrew’s story would change his life. Andrew also came from an abusive home and one day an officer came to his house and brought peace, and from that day Andrew vowed to do the same. But Andrew’s best intentions slowly fell away as greed took over. Andrew had become a crooked cop, the kind he never hoped to be. He finally got caught and found himself totally broken and facing jail time of his own. Andrew’s wife convinced him to talk to a pastor and everything started to change. He truly started to understand the mercy and grace of the Lord.
While Jameel was in prison he found his own heart softened as he grew closer to the Lord and he decided to forgive Andrew. But what neither of these men knew was how the Lord would cross their paths time and time again to show the world what true forgiveness looks like. You cannot miss their story!

A Prayer for When You Feel Lost - Your Daily Prayer - April 27
When we feel lost, God is our true north. He is the one who can lead us where He wants us. It is so easy to get caught up in listening to the world, so sometimes, it is best to shut it out to create a quiet space for God to work.
