{A Basket Case}

Did you know not everyone received Paul’s message sent by God Himself… remember that story of him being dropped down to escape in a basket? Some Bible stories would make the most suspenseful television 📺

People could focus on the worldly perspective of his past sinful actions as a murderer— and miss the entire life giving message God placed on his sermons and lessons.

They missed the life breathing lesson, because they were to upset about the familiar deaths prior. They couldn’t let the worldly title go… couldn’t get past the unforgiveness. They missed the good fruit and the roots of the Gospel. Grace, mercy, purpose, talents, and a new creation! They chose to ignore not ingest his eternal calling, purpose, and indentity as a anointed minister of Christ.

From murderer to minister—no one is too far gone to be used by the hand of The Mighty LORD.

Choose to see the present Paul’s in your life and stop focusing on their Saul pasts. Forgive, seek the wisdom God placed at the table, rest, and then live the abundant life you were given. Claim it!

2 Corinthians 5:17 (CSB)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!
