The Woman with the Bad Before

Every follower of Jesus has a not-so-great “before.”

And every follower of Jesus also has an amazing “after.”

Peter, the fisherman who betrayed Jesus for fear of losing his life became the first Pope and, in the end, gave up his life for Christ.  

Matthew, the thieving taxman traitor became an Apostle, the author of the first Gospel and he too shed his blood for Jesus.

Mary Magdalene, the woman whose past was so bad she became possessed by seven demons was the first person Jesus appeared to on the Day of His Resurrection. Later she brought Catholicism to France.

Jesus doesn’t care about the before in our lives. His only concern is the now. Where is your heart now? Do you want to be all that God has planned?
