Just As I Am (my piece today at OnFaith)
I’m so thrilled to have a piece up at OnFaith today. I’m thinking about the experience of conversion, both as a child and–over and over again, every day–as an adult.
How does a seven-year-old meet God? All I knew was the tightness in my chest. Silent Spirit hands between my ribs, gathering the threads of my insides, weaving them into something beautiful. All I knew was the heat blowing against my face, beckoning me toward the aisle, inviting me to come.
Oh Lamb of God, I come, I come.
We sang those words week after week in my growing up years. We prayed for God to move among us and bring salvation. Conversions were loud and definitive. Conversions nailed themselves in place—one moment in time and forever—and there they remained.
I’d love for you to join me over at OnFaith for the rest…
