our decision to lead a new life in Christ’s service can come in various ways. Whenever and however it happens is a definite step towards turning our lives inside out. Many of us can only lay claim to a gradual enlightenment and cannot pinpoint the dramatic moment of our full commitment.


The moment of realisation comes in many ways and


• Although we only begin our human life on our birthday, we came here following a time of growth over a period of about nine months. God was at work in our lives long before we were aware of this. Some of us take longer than others to become aware of


God’s presence in our lives. A new-born babe wastes no time announcing pro­


tests at the new environment and a desire for food and warmth. I wonder how many new babes in Christ have perished in their early days through lack of food and warmth. I t is tragic when they are not able to find what they need in the church to which they have come for the needed spiritual succour. We must always be ready to share with any seek­


ing soul who comes our way in need of enlightenment and encouragement. Of course we have to possess something to share, before being able to pass it on to others; If they who search for spiritual food can receive new strength and assurance from us, then both the giver and the receiver are blessed indeed. ‘
