How God's love changes us

I was so excited to meet a man who has lost his power and will to live; It seems that out of no where we met for a short while, but his life is turned around by the power of the Gospel. He struggles with a habit that seems hard to break. The same thing is repeated every month; every cycle, it's the same time, the same struggle over sin. How can he break that habit? Why and how did I repeat the same thing every month?

By the power of God and His Word the man is set free. He shared his heart and confessed his sins to the Lord and repented of his sins, God's love came into his heart and restored him. He received God's forgiveness. The man's countenance changes, from depression to hope; from death to life; a smile is evidently seen on his face. God's power is so great and His love conquers this man and brought him back.

So many things were brought back to the man's memory. He confessed to the Lord all happened in the past, the defiant and rebellious spirit was cast out, and he broke the curse over his life. He is free. It was so good to see the power of God's love at work. Sins confessed; forgiveness is experienced; love is felt. Hope is restored.

God will continue to transform and shape us as we open ourselves to Him and the Holy Spirit working power in us.
