True Conversion Takes Time
After the conversion of Saul to
Paul, he went to the Arabian desert for three years to pray and be instructed. There
may not be overnight transformation in persons of different ranks. Every
conversion has to be strengthened and sustained by prayer, reflection, and purification
and then only taken up into action. Action without thought and inner strength
will not bear fruit or such actions will not last long. St Paul after his
conversion had spent considerable time in inner transformation.
As St Paul began his public ministry
the people in Jude were saying that the one who persecuted the church was
instructing the people. The believers praised God for him and the marvellous of
the Lord. They were happy about his works and preaching. Let us preach Christ despite our hardships and trials.
Do we have the patience to grow
in the grace of God?
