Paul really did not care for anyone's approval. He didn't care who he was or what his past looked like, instead he used that for the good of the kingdom! He knew that the approval of the precious blood of Jesus Christ was all he needed to go forth and preach the gospel and "they praised God because of me." Don't let Satan use your past as a crutch to hold against you, to keep you from preaching the gospel and bringing people to God because you feel inadequate or unholy! The second you gave your life to Christ your life became a new one and praise God for your past because with it now you can relate to those you will be sharing the gospel with. 👑❤️️
