The day I became a Christian
had nothing to do with any moral merit or theological soundness on my
part. It was simply the day I began a journey of accepting the help of a
Savior, the forgiveness of a King, of willingness to be led by a Shepherd, of
being honest about myself with the Ear who hears and the Eye who sees most
clearly and the Heart who loves most dearly, of being shaped by the most tender
and brilliant of Artists who has both water in His hands and fire in His
heart.
It was the day I began to
believe He was both God and good, and to, piece by piece, trust Him with more
of me…heart, time, direction, possessions. He takes the smelly fish and dry bread crusts of our lives
and does stuff with it that has kingdom scent and size and nourishment and
value, and distributes us out and feeds others. It is a miracle we can experience every day. Usually it will look at the beginning
like the most simple of actions.
Keep entering the humble doors that He has gone through before you and
nods your way to go there with Him.
