One of my Kairos brothers summarized the weekend this way: Final report from Kairos #56 at Angola State Prison. 32 residents started the retreat on Thursday 28 completed the entire weekend, and every single brother either gave their life to Jesus Christ or made a rededication to HIM. Although I’ve done so many of these retreats, it still amazes me to see what God does to the hearts of these men from Thursday to Sunday…to God be the glory….
I am still basking in the “afterglow” of my Kairos weekend. When you see God move for an entire weekend, there is an afterglow. There is an afterglow, from just being in God’s presence. There is an afterglow from a weekend in which you realize just how blessed you are. You are not incarcerated. You get to see your family on a daily basis. When you get up in the morning, you have many choices on how to spend your day.
When you spend a weekend being used by God and seeing differences in the lives of folks, there is an afterglow. When you spend the weekend with the people of God, there is an afterglow.
Take a moment. Get up on go look in the mirror. Do you see an afterglow? Maybe you need to change the way you spend your time.
Be blessed.
