" 9For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me." 1Corinthians 15:9-10
I love Apostle Paul's redemption story. How such an evil, murderous man who persecuted and tortured Christians was saved and used so mightily by God; and yet, Paul truly understood and practiced the concept of humility. Although he was an apostle, a man of God, he didn't considered himself as one because of his past. But he gives all the glory and credit to God because it was only by God's grace that he was saved. How awesome and powerful our God is to be able to take the lives of wretched sinners like me to do His work.. I'm convicted every time I'm reminded of the amazing grace that my Father gave to me.
