Matters of Faith

I once dated a man who believed that a person was not “saved” unless he or she could point to an exact moment of conversion-a moment in which they acknowledged their absolute brokenness, left their life of hedonism and debauchery and definitively dedicated their life to the Lord Jesus Christ.  I spent the better part of a year attempting to pinpoint the inauguration of my own faith before throwing in the towel with, I must admit, a considerable amount of frustration and disappointment that I had never been granted the proverbial burning bush experience.  My life, rather, has been a series of conversions, some so small they would seem inconsequential to most people.  But they have all been at the hand of God and must, therefore, be considered miraculous.  Let us not be in the habit of disregarding the work of God simply because it does not conform to our expectations.
