When God Turns It Around: Hope for Hard TimesSample

PAUL— FROM PERSECUTOR TO PREACHER
Paul wasn’t just indifferent to Jesus—he was an enemy. He hunted down Christians and threw them in prison. He thought he was doing God a favor. But Jesus met Paul on the road to Damascus. With one encounter, Paul’s life changed forever.
Paul went from persecuting the church to planting churches. He went from breathing threats to preaching grace. It wasn’t because Paul got better. It was because Jesus showed him mercy.
This is what grace does. It takes enemies and makes them family. It takes rebels and makes them servants of God.
Maybe you feel like your past is too dark for God to use you. It’s not. If God can turn Paul’s life around, He can turn yours around too. In Christ, no one is too far gone.
PRAYER
God, thank You that Your grace is bigger than my past. Help me to trust that You can still use my life for Your glory.
REFLECTION
Who in your life needs to hear that God’s grace is bigger than their past?
Scripture
