Summary: When my family gathers on vacation, the whole clan of 23, we are intentional about spending time in the Word. Recently, my wife suggested that we share how Jesus came into our family. Pat told her family story of her grandparents being the first to be born again. I was surprised at how much of this story I didn't even know. God did amazing work in her family long, long ago. We each have a conversion story. Whether it is a simple one of receiving Jesus into your heart as a young child at Sunday school, or a more complicated story involving drugs, poor decisions and a dramatic redemption, each is unique. And, each can be powerfully used by God to lead others to Himself. Whenever conversion stories are shared, I'm reminded of Paul in Acts 9. Paul was blinded on the road to Damascus. Then, Ananias placed his hands on Paul's eyes, healed him, baptized him, and he was filled with the Holy Spirit. He was blind and then he saw! What is your conversion story? How did Jesus enter your life or your family? I encourage you to write out this story in great detail and then summarize it in a few paragraphs. That way, when you're prompted to share the Good News, you will be prepared and confident to tell your story and point others to Jesus Christ. This honors God.
