And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, he food of his table, the seating of his officials, and the attendance of his servants, and their clothing, his cupbearers, and their clothing, and his burnt offerings that he offered at the house of the LORD, there was no more breath in her. And she said to the king, "The report was true that I heard in my own land of your words and of your wisdom, but I did not believe the reports until I came and my own eyes had seen it. And behold, half the greatness of your wisdom was not told me; you surpass the report that I heard.
The queen of Sheba did not believe what she heard. Impossible, gross exaggerations! I remember hearing reports of the transformation of a man with a very ugly criminal past and saying, not just to myself, "Impossible, gross exaggerations!"
I, like the queen, had to retract and ask forgiveness for my judgment. I saw the witness of a man truly transformed by the power of the Cross of Jesus Christ. I believe the reports.
May others see and believe because of my transformation.
