What best testimony can we speak of than that of Paul's. The story is well known. It is one of the best testimonies that inspired me to build my faith. So shall we discuss his story, his life, and the change that changed his life, forever? Paul was first Saul; the pharisee. Saul like the many of us was an unbeliever. He rose his banner against Jesus, persecuted the Christians all over Jerusalem. He was blood thirsty.So he set out to persecute believers in Damascus. He must have been filled with wrath. His vengence against christians was fuming against him. God is truly awesome, is he not? He does the most unexpected things. Saul was lucky to experience such unexpected miracles in his life. What happened to him redefined christianity forever.
Lord, Son of the most High, called on Saul. Those words: "Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?( Acts 9:3) sounded the knell of Saul. Saul died. His horse tumbled, he fell down, became blind and died. But, Paul was born. Saul's soul was reborn as Paul. A murderer became a leader for Christ. Such is Lord's grace and love for us. Paul suffered then. But his suffering was different. It was a gift and God gave him the strength to accept it with a smiling happy heart.
Those of you who read this maybe are from different walks of life. Perhaps, all of you are hunting for 'the truth'. Maybe a few of you are angry with God for life's failure. But let me tell you out of my own life's experience. God is good and I mean it. He is an awesome God and a God of miracles. He is capable of moving mountains to help you. He is capable of everything beyond human comprehension. He is a God who can give you unconditional love.
All you are expected to do is give yourself to him. Bow down to his name and his grace. Tell him your worries and talk to him like he is your friend. Believe me,after establishing that relationship with him you would understand 'true love' the way you have never experienced it before. Leave your burdens in his feet. Go to his presence with thankfulness and no expectation. I can assure you( because I am a person who has experienced his love) your life would meet a change like never before.
