So that we, like the Apostle Paul in the Bible, who was the worst sinner and a murderer and persecutor of Christians would wake up, repent and sin no more and in turn follow Christ Jesus and lead others to him and help the lost, needy, broken, hurting and when you have seen these things first hand and been there, God uses that (as he had me, the daughter of a homeless alcoholic who never healed from a broken back on job injury) to give empathy and a desire to help others in a wide variety of horrible situations. God used my dad’s situation to call me to open a Christian Camp which will help many in horrible situations. I am currently waiting for Him to open the right doors. Ask God to direct you to your calling that he has for you.
