The Power of Love

I took my teenage grandsons to see the movie The Forge. It’s a powerful story about an irresponsible boy who becomes a man, thanks to some godly men who show him the love of Jesus.

I recently wrote about a group of men I meet with called Men of Integrity. I’ve rarely found men who feel safe enough with each other to confess their sins. Most importantly, we encourage each other to trust Jesus, knowing He is the only one who can fix our broken lives.

“If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭66‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” James 5:16

If you feel isolated, or long for more joy in your life, I strongly encourage you to ask God to lead you to some believers who aren’t ashamed of being vulnerable and transparent about their faults.

And if you can, go see the movie The Forge. It’s a great reminder of the power of God’s love to change lives.
