God can change anyone

I have to admit firstly that I sometimes underestimate how powerful God is. I forget that he can do absolutely ANYTHING!!

I was listening to the radio and a guy was talking about how we sometimes may wonder about how someone could be saved. I am referring to those that you would least expect to become christians. Someone who does not really want to have anything to do with christians and their 'rules and regulations'. But if you stop and think about Paul in the bible, originally Saul, he was someone who was so against christians that he would kill them without regret or at least put them in prison. (Acts 9:1-2)

God had other plans for him "...This man is my chosen instrument..." (Acts 9:15) God used him to bring many to knowing Christ as their Saviour. Likewise, God has plans for our lives as well. He wants us to live a life that is honouring and pleasing to him. He wants us to be obedient to him.

I would like to encourage you if you do not know Christ as your Saviour that you ask a christian about how to become a christian or attend a local church. God does not expect much from us compared to what he has done for us. God has a purpose for each and everyone here on Earth. We do not have much time so we need to make the most of it.

Give thanks to God for what he has done for us.
