"In one moment I was free and safe forever. God moves. God saves. In that moment God flipped something dead to life. All the Christmases I sang around wreaths holding candles, all the stories and lessons snapped to life because they only make sense in the light of this person." [Page 11] You may have a similar conversion story. All of the sudden, out of nowhere, God did something unique and totally amazing in your life. He turned your world upside down, or maybe we should say, right side up. Spiritual things that never made sense before now are ringing with truth in your heart. Faith traditions or church services (that were previously boring) now make you glow hot inside! In fact, you want more. You want to sing. You want to tell everyone how much different you feel. You realize now in this precious moment ~ HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVED. In our world today so many things call out for our time and attention. And for some of us, those distractions have made us feel like we're walking alone ~ buried in the crazy rush of life's necessities and never-ending list of things to do. Lifes feelings can become unreal. Faith and confidence in God that was once written in the heart now feeling useless, brittle and EMPTY ~ ready to be thrown away ~ like recycled plastic. But our God is a great God ~ His love continually giving us a fresh start, a new story. A story that's alive. God abiding in our heart again. Stop and listen. You will hear your heart beating again with His LOVE and LIFE and HOPE.
