Dear God,
I get so confused. Uncle Paul used to be just like
us. He was super faithful to You in everything he did. I guess a few years back
this guy named Jesus claimed that he was the Son of God. And Dad and Uncle Paul
are pharisees, so they knew that it couldn't be true, but there were all these
people that followed him.
Uncle Paul used to be so committed to You that he
would get the followers of this Jesus arrested and even killed because of their
unfaithfulness to You (Acts 9:1-2, 8:1). But something happened to him and this
is where I get so confused. Dad says that he thinks Uncle Paul fell of his
donkey and hit his head, but I've heard Uncle Paul speak and it doesn't make
sense, but it does seem right when I hear it. He says that he spoke to God
(Acts 9). And that he now knows that this Jesus guy really was the Son of God
and is alive in heaven even now.
He says that God doesn't just love the Jews, but
that He loves everybody and that he is supposed to tell everyone about Jesus
and how He is God and how He loves them. He never got to meet Jesus (unless you
count when he spoke with him - or as Dad calls it the donkey fall dream), but
he is now friends with Jesus' disciples and works along side some of them. Most
of them still preach and teach to the Jews, but Uncle Paul and some of them go
to the other nations.
I feel like I am supposed to be obedient to my
parents and believe what they believe, but I wonder if they are wrong. I know
that there is power in the name of Jesus, because I have seen it. People are
healed by Uncle Paul, but he won't take any credit for it and says it is only
because of the Jesus he preaches. God, whether he is right or not, I do not
know, but I pray that You keep him safe. He has been through so much already,
but he won't stop preaching.
