He's got it covered!

To many times we let our past mistakes keep us from being all God has called us to be. Why? Is it because we truly don't believe in forgiveness? Is it because we don't feel worthy? Is it a little bit of both? I think of Paul...if God could change and use Paul, who couldn't He use? When Paul said "To live is Christ, to die is gain" he knew from the moment his life was changed by Jesus that he had to spend the rest of his life living as Christ would live. He didn't question if he was worthy, he just knew the rest of his days should be spent living out whatever God called him to do. And in the midst of doing that, if he should have to give up his life, then that was a win too because he would just be rewarded with heaven. What an amazing attitude toward doing the work God has called you to do. No matter your past, once you are changed by the encounter you have with Jesus, you ARE usable by Him. Don't buy into the lies of the enemy that tells you that you can't! Philippians 1:21, Isaiah 6:8
