Would I be as active in the church as I am? I always tell myself MAYBE. But then I wonder HOW and I get back to the original question after that. There needs to be a HOW it seems to me, so that we can get to that close relationship that is both rewarding and necessary in our conversion. As hard as it is for me to type/say this as well as accept this, I believe you are right - I was given this trial because it is the exact thing that would help me come close to my savior. Not to remain apathetic or lazy in my conversion, but to put myself on the road of discipleship - to follow Christ as His loyal disciple, committed to my conversion. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
