Never forget where the Lord has brought you from.  Remember the sins He washed you from and the guilt He took away.  Think of the sadness of what you could be, had you not allowed God to enter your story and change it.  Better yet, when you enter God’s story, your story is forever changed for the better.  You now leave a different legacy than what you would have left.  God makes good endings.  Thank Him for His life-story changing grace.

“For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.”  1 Corinthians 15:9-10 (NASB)
