I’ll Never Be a Paul

I’ve heard this phrase over the years spoken by believers smothered by their weakness and oppressed by not only the world but by well-intended but misguided fellow believers as well.

We are far more like Paul than we ever allow ourselves to realize…

· When you stand for Christ, despite the sway of your family’s religious history.

· When you seek to follow Christ, even though you were obstinate and slow to walk with him.

· When you speak of Christ, even when it feels like you are alone.

At some point we allow the devil to chip away at our faith, lying to ourselves that personal perfection is the goal. It’s not, but in Christ we can be made perfect.

Stop letting your faith be shipwrecked.  You are Paul, you are Moses, you are Abraham… they too were just as we are, men. They let their faith in God work with whatever and whomever they were to be whom God needed. So should we.
