Saul's conversion is significant to me because God will use anyone to proclaim the "Good News". Even Saul, even you, even me. A constant tool of the enemy to keep us inactive is convincing us that our past has in some way negated us from making a difference. Add this prodding with our own guilt and we have the possibility to sit on the side lines for a long time.
Here is a little known secret. "God, knows all about your past."
He knows about it and still chooses you. People can abandon you, they can turn their backs on you and even hurl insults at you. But God, in His great love and compassion has rescued us for action. Saul's life will prove this over the rest of the pages of the New Testament.
God is good and we are blessed.
Heart and Soul,
