Ripping me to pieces…
“The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” And they praised God because of me. (1 Galatians 23-24)
This text has been ripping me up for a day or 2. This has been my prayer, just hoping, knowing that Jesus has forgiven me and hoping men have too.
I know that before I knew Jesus I tried to rip Christians apart sometimes. I can vividly remember arguing with someone in 6th grade who claimed to be a Christian.
By 12th grade, that persons life was out of control. Over 6 years, they had changed for the worst.
Now, I know it probably wasn’t all my fault, but I certainly was part of his demise.
Thankfully, the good news is that God is in the business of redeeming people. There’s still hope, even though I have no clue where he is in life right now. I’m just praying that I might be the light that turns someone else the other way, towards Jesus.
Because that would be awesome.
It just takes one.
