Rejoicing in Heaven

We don't realize when we are being persecuted by others the effect our lives have on them. When Stephen was stoned Saul who became Paul watched and it was a testimony to Paul. Paul persecuted the church and some of the very people he persecuted he later preached to. When we get to heaven we may see those who persecuted us but through our lives lived before them they were saved. There will be rejoicing in heaven when Stephen and Paul meet.
