I had the singular blessing of receiving the faith at age eight. Why me and not others? I don’t know. God has not given me the answer. He has never uttered a single, audible word to me personally. My guess is that He had me in His mind from the start and captured a susceptible, willing boy. Look at HOW IT HAPPENED
Nor am I interested when someone throws Bible verses at me or gives me platitudes. It means they have memorized a quote and been told what it means, or they have copied something. They do not reflect serious thought. I am interested in writers who think carefully about what they are going to say or people who have undergone a serious trial.
