Today at the prison the topic of the day was Love: God's love for us, self-love, our love for others. It is difficult for many of the guys to consider themselves worthy of God's love because they carry a lot of shame. We talked about having our true identity wrapped up in the fact that we are loved by God as a father loves his children. Many Bible verses came to mind in our group discussion including the two greatest commandments given to us by Jesus. Other Bible passages mentioned were: Romans 5:8, Psalm 136 and the entire book of I John.
Grace & Peace,
Pastor Rick
