Conversion

Conversion is not a one time only experience, it is not just a Lenten experience, it is not a monthly or an every-other-day experience. It is an every day commitment. You might want to compare it to being in physical shape. It takes effort every day in various degrees, but it does take a daily commitment. We too often are going to put off the “God thing” till another day. Too often, we say; “When I get this or that done, I will be able to do the God thing.” Or “once I get this done for the kids or work or myself, I will get to it.” Relationships work better if they are every day, not once a week or less. God does not put off his love for us; it is there day in and day out. Shouldn’t we respond in the same way? The words “put it off” are interesting. This actually means a conscious effort to not deal with or work with our relationship with God. This is not forgetting to do something, but remembering it and then deciding not to do it.
