Do you hear it?

In life there are so many things that can seem so hurtful and so confusing as you walk through them but then you look back and realize what it was for. Do you think that as Paul was walking on the road to Damascus he was thinking I will do whatever you want Lord as long as I dont get beaten, imprisioned, whipped, or any other hard thing? NO! He was thinking that he much like us have had an encounter with the Lord of All! So the question is, What do you do next? Paul walked a hard road and I would never wish that on anyone but I know that if it made him who he was then I think he would agree with me when I say it was all worth it. For him to have been so close to death so many times I think he really knew the "Fellowship of His sufferings." Yet we all get to know "the Glory that will be revealed." I myself have walked a pretty hard road. I know some think that things in my life haven't started because of those choices that I made. But I know in my heart that God has his timing and for the world to not appeal to me I HAD to walk in it for a time. I am blessed that I am not there anymore but I wouldn't take back one second of it because it made me who I am today. I don't want to ever do it again but I would to save someone else from doing it. There was a day when Jesus wasn't just working on me but I had an encounter with the Holy Spirit and He worked through me. I remember it well. God called me by name and asked me to step out of the cell that I had been living in for so long. He asked me to take off those chains of rejection and hurt and to step into His Radiant forgiveness and love. I did and something changed in me for good. The Holy Spirit was once again in me, but way better than before. I know that God has his timing and plan but I am thankful that I listened to His call. Do you hear him calling you?
