Second Chance

Have you ever made a mistake or had something in your past that you just know has to disqualify you from being used by God?  Let me encourage you by saying that there is nothing you can do or have done that Gods grace cannot cover if you will let Him.  I think though that Paul might have felt that way when he was still Saul. After all, he had spent his life persecuting Christians.  But God had other plans for Him.  God wanted Paul to spread the gospel to Gentiles,kings, & people of Israel. He also had plans for Paul to write a large part of the New Testament. So Christ got Paul's attention & brought him to his knees in order to show him his new purpose.  Even after Christ had made the change in Paul, how was Paul going to work with other Christians who feared him because of his previous occupation.  Don't worry, Christ went ahead of Paul & worked that out as well.  You see that's what God does. He restores.  He qualifies the unqualified.  He puts you back in the game when you think you can't be used anymore.  He is the God of second, third, fourth, etc. chances.  So if you're feeling unqualified, used up, or out of chances,find Christ & see what great things He wants to do with you.  God didn't use up all of His miracles in the bible.  He might even have a greater work for you than was done by Paul!
