As we continue to read the conversion of St. Paul and then his activities from that time on, we see that Paul DID NOT dwell on the terrible sins that He committed against God. Following Paul's conversion he immediately entered one of the most powerful Evangelistic ministries of all time. He worked full time at winning souls and building churches. He ACCEPTED God's forgiveness and moved on. We must do the same if we are to live fruitful lives for Christ. In doing so we can experience the peace that surpasses all understanding under ALL circumstances. Please read the following WORD and see the POWERFUL change that we too can experience by accepting God's love and forgiveness. When we continue to condemn ourselves for things that are totally gone from the mind of God (Psalm 103) we place our selves in bondage and cannot effectively serve of Lord, nor enjoy true PEACE.
Saul in Damascus and Jerusalem
19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. 21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, "Isn't he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn't he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?" 22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.

I battle with past and forgiving myself
thank you
I do think the world would be a better, more peacefull place if we could learn to forgive ourselves as Jesus forgave us. Thanks for pointing that out to us.
We must remember to forgive ourselves, or our Lord died for nothing. Thank you ...
