My encounter with Paul

Stranger: Hi
Me: Hi
Stranger: How are you?
Me: Fine thank you, and you?
Stranger: Fine, thank you. My name is Saul, in Hebrew that is, in Greek people call me Paul. What's your name?
Me: My name is Esteban. Wait... are you Paul from the new testament? The one who wrote all the letters?
Paul: Yes, Yes I am.
Me: Wow! Nice to meet you! I've read all your letters.
Paul: God changed me and inspired me to write those letters, like what I wrote for Timothy saying that all scripture is given by inspiration of God. I used to be very pernicious and detrimental before knowing God.
Me: Wow. I guess you also felt a lot of animosity towards all those Christians, right?
Paul: Yes, yes I did. To many people what I did when I persecuted Christians seemed like a great feat, but to others I was a caitiff.
Me: Wow, and after all that your conversion was something phenomenal!
Paul: You have no idea! I never thought that God could have used me to preach to so many people and in the way that he did.
Me: Yeah, I understand you, God used me in so many ways this summer that it's kind of hard for me to grasp.
Paul: I completely understand you, at first, it was hard for me to grasp as well, and it still is, but the closer you get to God the more you will see his influence in your life and you won't want to brake that awesome relationship.
Me: Wow, that makes me want to keep reading the Bible so that my relationship with God can get better and better. Thank you Paul.
Paul: No problem.
Me: I have to go, I have to get home, thanks for everything!
