A Deeper Walk

Several weeks ago, I attended a Men's Discipleship Walk. I had no idea of the transforming power that loving on others can produce. Men doing nothing other than serving and caring for others. Praying together, singing together and crying together. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed and experienced. Personal testimonies of how God saved men.
I saw gang bangers, outlaw bikers, drug addicts, alcoholics, professionals, family men and many others that God had rescued from a deadly and destructive lifestyle of sin, to new life living in the forgiveness of God. I thought I knew the depth and reality of the love of God, but I was wrong.
Four days of fellowship with other men looking to love God, by loving and serving others. What a truly amazing God I serve! I departed from the campground with tears on my face. I would be forever changed by seeing Jesus in the eyes of others as they waved goodbye. Today, I have a deeper walk and a closer walk with my Savior, my Lord and my King.
