Heart Change

It's never too late to change.
One of the things I like about Saul's life is that certain things about it were miracles from God. 

God can do anything through anyone.

Saul was a mess. He jailed Christians and he murdered Christians. He was hateful and detestable. You know what else came with that, right? Lying, cheating, and stealing usually follows such a cold heart. He did any and everything he could to hurt followers of Christ. At a minimum, he was also mean, deceptive, cunning and dangerous. And as you can imagine, people were immensely afraid of him. 

Then something happened1 and he changed. He was the opposite of who he ever thought he'd become.

He became a lover of Christians, of people, and most importantly, a lover of Christ. He began to have a fire in his belly for God, that he went on a quest to get people to see the glorious light of Christ. He was now a new creation,2 that he started using his other name (Roman name), Paul. As a result, people started listening to him, because he was no longer his old self. He was now a living breathing testimony of God's goodness and faithfulness. He wasn't afraid to tell his story and he was eager to help people learn about God. 

Any one of us can have a heart change. God wants us to be more useful to people who need our help. It doesn't matter what anyone has done, God can and will use you just as He did for Saul/Paul.

There is hope for all of us to change. God loves that.

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately.

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
