Galatians One

"'The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.' And they praised God because of me."
-----Galatians 1:23-24

Paul's story is amazing. Believing the Christians were an attack on his Jewish heritage, he pursued them by placing them in prison or executing them. When God reveals His amazing power to Paul everything changes.

Here in lies one of the great mysteries of God the Father. He chooses to use us despite the flaws in our past. His use of Paul regardless of what he had done is one of the main reasons we have the gospel in our hearts. God will allow your past experiences to help you become the person you are. The challenge is, like Paul, not letting the mistakes from the past define you and a child of the Living God.

"Dad, help me use my past to help build Your kingdom."
