After his heavenly encounter with Jesus, he became a new person in Christ, with a new name, Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul\u2019s conversion was miraculous.&nbsp; Light shone from heaven as Jesus confronted Paul on his journey.&nbsp; Immediately, Paul knew his experience changed his life.&nbsp; When we meet Jesus, life change is the result.&nbsp; We leave our past behind and begin rebuilding a new life in Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admitting our faults is difficult for everyone.&nbsp; When I was a store manager, I made mistakes on the schedule.&nbsp; My assistant would point out my errors, which made me feel like an idiot.&nbsp; In my late 20\u2019s I had high expectations of myself.&nbsp; Whenever I faltered, I felt like a failure in front of my staff.&nbsp; At the time, I was rebuilding my relationship with Jesus after years of turning my back on Him.&nbsp; My newfound faith gave me the strength to admit my faults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>In our weakness, God makes us strong.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admitting our weaknesses makes us vulnerable.&nbsp; Recently, I watched a rising tennis star whose father is developing two forehands for the youngster. Naturally right-handed, the boy\u2019s left forehand is the weakest.&nbsp; Every opponent the young man faces knows to hit the ball to the left side.&nbsp; Inevitably, they are helping the athlete become stronger by exploiting his weakness.&nbsp; The more practice he gets, the stronger his forehand becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same way, when we expose our weaknesses, God helps us become stronger. We\u2019re able to accept our imperfections, realizing God made us that way for a reason.&nbsp; Paul became God\u2019s most prominent advocate, writing most of the New Testament.&nbsp; Because of Christ,&nbsp; his life changed dramatically.&nbsp; Jesus does the same for us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admitting you are wrong isn\u2019t a weakness; it\u2019s a strength.&nbsp; Rebuilding occurs when we can say we\u2019re sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/bookcover.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/bookcover.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/bookcover-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/bookcover-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Three-Word-Prayers-Everyday-Living-ebook\/dp\/B09JT3B6CW\/ref=sr_1_2?crid=18UKNZFIIDIEA&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=three+word+prayers&amp;qid=1635775169&amp;sprefix=three+word+prayers%2Caps%2C69&amp;sr=8-2\">Check out my new release on Amazon<\/a>.
