Galatians 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

Thought for the Day: Every Saint Has A Past; Every Sinner A Future

Reflection for the Day: It Is Your Future That Matters To God

As Paul shares how God opened his eyes to the gospel, he reminds his readers of his past, a persecutor of the church. He helps us to understand that every child of God has a past, often not pleasing to God. In the same manner, we realize that one’s past does not keep them from a Godly future. It is their future that matters to God.

Unfortunately, as we look at our own past, as well as the past of others, often harsh choices are made, leading to decisions that in our minds limit a person’s future. In reality one’s past need not limit one’s future. Before lowering your expectations, know that it is your future that matters to God.
