Thanks be to God!
How is it that one
begins to be good? Upon what fulcrum rests the knife-edge of change? As indistinguishable is the moment in which the turn takes place, equally perplexing to keenest investigation is the part of the being in which the renovation begins. Who shall analyze repentance? You cannot see it coming! Before you know it, there it is, and the man is no more what he was. His life is all at once upon other lines. The wind has blown! We saw not where it came from or where it went, but the new birth is there. It began in the spiritually infinitesimal, where all beginnings are. Then it grew, till one day the outer shell was cracked. (from The Baron's Apprenticeship by George MacDonald)
This has happened in the life of someone I love dearly.
Thank You, Father, for Your great faithfulness!
What You have begun, You will complete!
