Acts 9:15-16
But the Lord said to him, “Go, for this man is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before Gentiles, kings, and Israelites, and I will show him what he will have to suffer for my name.”

It seems many people wrestle with feelings of unworthiness…that they just don’t measure up to God’s demands. From the deepest part of my heart I know that God wants me to tell you that this is totally untrue! God loves us in our weaknesses and failings. That is what UN-conditional love means! Each of us is loved as a newborn son or daughter. God knows full well of our inability to be perfect because that’s the way God made us. Saul was the worst of the worst. He was persecuting Christians…even leading them to their deaths. But God chose him to be an instrument to preach the name of Jesus! Saul became St. Paul…the most influential evangelist ever. His zeal for the Lord no doubt came directly from his knowledge that he had been forgiven and that it had nothing to do with his worthiness, ability or merit. It was pure Grace. It was simply a gift from God. God’s love is transforming. Accept it. Allow it to transform you.
