I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
Paul was imprisoned for his faith in Jesus but that never stopped him from sharing his faith with people. He wrote letters to believers from prison,encouraging them to continue in their faith in God and shared his faith with those he was imprisoned with. He never stopped or allowed his circumstances to change him, who he was or what God had called him to.
It’s easy to allow our circumstances to dictate our mood, our behavior and our decisions. But when we surrender to the leading of the Holy Spirit, he can change our attitude and our perspective to lead us to make better decisions.
We can either choose to let life dictate to us or we can be the change that makes a difference.
