Reflect
Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus gives us the shivers. Still, we understand the skepticism that came from some of the very people—including the disciples—he’d been persecuting. Was it all an evil trick? Paul’s actions, preaching, and ultimate martyrdom proved otherwise. They could trust him—after all, Jesus did.
Pray
God, sometimes
I think I know more
about what’s
in people’s hearts
and souls
than you do.
I pledge to do
a better job
of quieting
those thoughts
and focusing on learning
from my own
conversion moments.
Act
Refrain from gossiping today about someone who seems to be making life changes to become better liked or more popular.
