Scales removed from my eyes

I am playing a little catch up this week. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t quite get my three blogs last week. This was one I intended to write last week that I didn’t want to forget. I have doubts-I think if we are all honest with ourselves, we have all had doubts at one time or another. I have been prayerful, but wondered if what I prayed for was not what God had planned for me. I have questioned whether transformation, true transformation was really possible. The other night as I sat in prayer and opened my Bible, it opened to Acts 9, and I had my answer. How can we doubt transformation when you read about Saul? Saul went from persecuting all the followers of Jesus to proclaiming the name of Jesus to all who would hear. That is transformation. God chose Him and when God chooses us, what seems impossible becomes possible. The lost are found and true transformation surpasses understanding. Saul was blinded by God questioning him and his acts of persecution only to then be given his site as he is transformed. “Brother Saul, the Lord-Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here-has sent me so that yo may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again” (Acts 9:17-18, NIV)
