The Power of Two

Today, I had the joy of having lunch with an amazing woman. Honestly, I could sit and listen to her for hours. Her story is amazing, and when listening to her, I can truly see a miracle that God has worked. The awesome thing is that she gives no credit to herself or anyone else for that matter. All of the change in her life is accredited to Christ. One of the things that we talked about was the true nature of the church. Was the church created to be so legalistic to the point where certain sins seem to be unforgivable? If they are forgivable, it takes a while for the church to forgive and it usually happens after things have died down with the situation. One thing that she brought up was the importance of having someone that we can just be real with. How are we going to experience growth and change if we cannot be real with anyone? We then are continuing to live in the dark and hiding our sinful nature from those around us. As long as those things are in the dark, we are going to continue in them. This brought up the idea of the power of two. When there are two people who are able to experience life together and be real with one another, we can see growth. Of course, it is really what we make it, but we can get a lot from these relationships if we choose to make the most of it. Rather than hiding and not being open, I can choose to be open and real and allow a change to be worked in my life.
