Nala’s conversion reminds me of my Italian grandfather. As some of you know I was raised in atheism. My grandfather did horrible things that I can’t talk about here. He was not a nice man, in fact, he was a man most men feared. At the end of his life he realized his pride and his power couldn’t save him. He eventually surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. I became a Christian about 3 years prior so I know he heard our family mock him for choosing Jesus. After his death I was talking with my aunt (one of his daughters). She laughed and said he’s not worthy of forgiveness. She went on to tell me no God could forgive a man like him after all he did. Then I got to share with her that Jesus is exactly who he said he was. No one deserves forgiveness but the God we love is a loving God and forgave this wretch of a man. She stood there in disbelief and I continued to tell her that her Dad is in heaven because of what Jesus did on the cross. Mockers are going to make fun of believers (young or old). Let them. We know our Lord, our Messiah, can save ANYONE no matter what they’ve done.

Today I had a conversation that reminded me how lost I was before Christ. I thought I knew everything. I had searched out truth and had a lot of knowledge but I still felt empty and without purpose. Coming to the end of yourself doesn’t always mean you came upon hard times. Sometimes it means you realize that knowledge isn’t enough. That you aren’t enough. When I found Christ and was finally willing to give up my pride for the real truth that’s when I found my purpose and real love that only comes from our almighty creator and Lord.
