Paul wrote to the men of his small group,
Before I knew everyone in this group, I was trapped inside a cage that Satan had locked me in because I believed the lies he led me to believe. You all have helped me see my life as it really was.
You created a safe place for me to be honest and vulnerable. I was alone, lonely and hopeless dwelling on my past.
God made us to be part of a community for this very reason that applies to all of us:
“A man who isolates himself seeks his own desires; he rages against all wise judgment.” — Proverbs 18:1.
This verse describes exactly where I was. God placed me in this group of wise men who brought the keys to my jail cell, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, set me free!
“(B)ut as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct”.
~Paul, Michigan
There are moments in life when the world around you looks normal, but inside you’re living in a collapsing house. That was me. I walked around with a straight face, but my soul was cracked like old stone. I wasn’t just lost — I was blind. I didn’t know who I was. I didn’t know God. And worse, I didn’t know how far I was from him.
