joyful surprises

I stumbled across a Facebook post from someone I knew in elementary school.

As far as I can recall, he was one of the worst kids I knew in the 4th grade. He was the reason I learned my first Korean curse words. He was a bully and treated kids younger than him poorly (as myself). He abused his power and personality selfishly. All I have are bad memories of an abrasive personality.

But it's somewhat amazing because what I found was a long-winded post about how the essence of faith in God is that He works in our hearts, not that we offer our sacrifices and go pray early mornings and try to earn His love with our devotion. Such profound truth in such eloquent Korean.

My point being.. God can both choose and change anyone. Anyone.
