Wisdom from the Psalms
Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, comforted me.
-Psalm 86:17
During high school, Chris had been a total loser. He had partied heavily and bullied other kids, forcing them to give up their lunch money in order to avoid a beating. Everyone walked in fear of Chris. Ten years was a long time, but no one expected such a great change from Chris. At the reunion, Chris came into a room that was still somewhat fearful of the old bully. What the people found was a man of grace and charm, who extended a warm hand to everyone he saw. In a few cases, Chris apologized for his behavior ten years gone by. When asked what had made the difference in his life, Chris replied simply, “I’m a Christian now.”
Christ is the changer of lives. He will give us a token that will attract people’s attention. When others see the miracle of God in our lives, then cannot help but be touched themselves. God works through us to touch others. Open yourself to His guidance, and He will use you greatly.
Prayer:
Take my life and use it to Your will, Father. If I can be the instrument that leads someone to You, then don’t hesitate to bring me into service. Let me give to others a portion of what You have given to me. Amen.

I have found this to be true. That when you turn your life over to Jesus, and come into relationship with him. He turns your life around, changes things that you never thought possible. God is good, changing lives, when we come to him in repentance.
