This was meant to be a light & encouraging holiday podcast episode.

 

Then, it turned into a heavy and warning-type episode.

 

You’ll be around souls this holiday.

 

Souls, that maybe you don’t feel fully at peace with.

Souls, that maybe you have been wronged by.

Souls, that maybe you still feel the sting of the pain they inflicted on you.

 

This is spoken for no specific person…except, definitely for me.

Also, maybe for all of those I work with.

And maybe every person who has ever told me about their marriage struggles.

And maybe everyone else I know, too.

 

So, yeah… take this one personally.

 

May God stir His truth in you.

 

This is the good news:

“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”

 

This is the terrifying truth…

“But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

Jesus said this in the gospel of Matthew 6:15 (NIV).

 

Here’s the deal…

 

I follow Jesus and need Him to save me. I NEED him to forgive me.

And according to that verse, if I don’t forgive others… I have no hope of eternal salvation.

May that sober us up this holiday to forgive every person, every single one.

 

So, I needed to hear this.

 

And, I NEED to live this in EVERY single relationship.

 

It’s a command. I needed to be reminded of it. I hope you did, too.

 

Love you with great love — in courage and integrity,

Belah

Masculinity Reclaimed Graduate quote:

“I lacked the practical application of how to love and serve my wife.  This program helped me stop doing the things that were undermining my efforts to improve my marriage.

I needed Logical, Practical, and well layed out stratagem to improve my marriage. This course provided exactly that.

I had been praying intensely for my marriage daily for 8 months before I stumbled upon DYM [Delight Your Marriage] / MR [Masculinity Reclaimed].  I had very limited improvements until starting the program.

This class is very challenging, but the rewards are worth it!”
