Acts of the Apostles 9:15 NLT. Paul’s life illustrates the changes God can make, when He is given the opportunity to do so.
Key points
Its extraordinary to see the transformation in him.
It shows what God can do in anyone’s life.
As God there are no limits to what He can do for anyone, when given the opportunity.
He wanted to share this with everyone he could.
4. Paul’s sight loss, was a picture of his spiritual state before he got saved.
5. Got wanted Paul to understand the gravity of his sin.

Thank you again, I struggle with my husband when I bring up my faith he calls it "religion", I call it a "relationship", I try so hard to set an example for my kids, we say a prayer at the dinner table every night before our meal and say prayers with my kids at bed time and my daughter is now in a Christian youth group, but my husband still stands to not want to budge. I will keep the faith, God will move in HIS way and in HIS time. Keep up the wonderful work that God has placed on your heart.
Yes, a relationship. Don’t try to knock the door down. I knew someone in the same situation. Basically, he said he was jealous of her “religion.” She prayed of course, easy prayers, not hard or forceful ones, basically withdrawing verbally on the subject. One day she suggested Jesus can be known, as any living person can be known.
“Don't feel weird. Simply ask Him, is it true? Are you really here, a person?” Then she went and got busy on something else.
And, secretly, without telling her he did this. (The best way, secretly).
In the night they were sleeping, he suddenly started awake, and said, ”There’s knocking!” She said, ”Open the door,” turned over and fell back asleep, letting the Lord (and him) handle it.
A marriage of believers ever since, 50+ years.
