testimonies

I have been reading 1 Timothy for the past few days.  In the first chapter of the letter, Paul says this about himself:

Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.  The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.  (1 Tim 1:13-14)

I might write about myself that I was formerly independent, addicted to my own agenda, and hopelessly selfish.  But by the grace of God I am learning to depend on Jesus every day, living for God's Kingdom and learning to put others before myself.

To be truly inspired by what God can do in the lives of those who trust Him, click on the video below:
