eyeInspire: Reach Out & Be Used

God breaks into a life in a spectacular manner, and sometimes conversion is a quiet experience.

But what exactly is conversion? Something that Saul came to know very well. Conversion, by definition, is a change in character, form, or function; or a spiritual change from sinfulness to righteousness. In the story of Saul and Ananias, it became clear that Saul was on the road to becoming an evil man, but God chose to use Ananias in the process of converting Saul. Ananias questioned God when it came to this, but in the end did what God told him to do, and that was go to Saul (who was blinded) so that he could see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes we assume that people are beyond God's reach. But NOTHING is too big for God. Think about the people that testify about how bad they were or how far they were from God's will. When these same people give testimonies, they're witnessing how great God's grace and mercy is.

Saul's story challenges those assumptions, as should we. God blinded Saul in order for him to see again, but when he was blessed with a new sight, he was converted through God. We have to embrace those who are far from God, because they can be converted through us. As God wants to use us as instruments, just as he did Saul. Jesus said "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name..." Acts 9:15 We never know how God will chose to use us or those around us.

Remember, every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. eyeInspire you to reach out to those around you and let God use you.

If you don't know the story of the Saul's Conversion, read all about it in Acts 9:1-19
