The Old, Old Story:

     There is nothing more thrilling or persuasive than hearing how someone came to Christ.


     I have heard the details of the conversions of all my close friends, but I could hear them over and over and over.  Why is that?  Because everything He does is always new and He never does the same thing twice in exactly the same way.


     We tend to think that some are harder to reach than others.  It is true that the heart can grow hard and that constant rejection and sin can jade the conscience.  But, can't we all say that if He could win me, He could win anyone?


     My heart was so hard and my attempt to escape Him so intense that I did not know I was reponding to Him until the very minute He touched me.  Then, there was no denying what was happening.  He got through the hardness and the fear and revealed Himself.


     The Story never grows old and it is always a penetrating assurance that no one is out of His reach.
