"All…were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed…”
(Acts 9:21)
What do you mean, you can’t change? Was there ever a man such as Saul, who was filled with more hatred and destruction of all that was good in life? This human serpent, who breathed out cruelty toward everything that was truly decent, would be considered, then and now, unchangeable by the masses.
Yet in just one day, yea, in a split second, he was forever changed for the good. This complete 180-degree turn-around was a direct result of the beginning of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. There was a complete change in his attitude and actions; a new principle had entered his life. People and things around him didn’t change, but his outlook on them did. Drastically, I might add.
When Lordship is settled, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do”; you too, my friend, will experience the metamorphous life! Hurting will be turned into helping, loathing into loving; and all the bitter waters of life, become sweet. You need not be knocked off your high-horse and humbled in the dust as Paul. God doesn’t use a ballistic missile on fleas; a pea-shooter does for the likes of us.
Whoever you are, wherever you’re at, will you now, at this second, acknowledge and submit to his Sovereign right in your life? If so, arise and go in peace, and know a life that passes anything and everything you could ever imagine!
