Day 6 — Conversion
Dear fellow disciple,
Conversion is not a dramatic moment reserved for stories told long after the fact.
It is quieter than that.
More demanding, too.
Conversion happens not when we admire Christ,
but when we yield.
Not when we agree with His words,
but when we allow them to rearrange us.
More Than Belief
We often speak of conversion as belief gained—
as though the work were finished once the mind is convinced.
But belief alone does not change a life.
Even the storm-tossed disciples believed in Christ.
Even Peter believed enough to step out of the boat.
Conversion begins when belief is followed by surrender.
The Yielding of the Will
The scriptures speak plainly:
the natural man must be yielded.
Not managed.
Not educated.
Not improved.
Yielded.
Conversion is not self-mastery.
It is self-abandonment.
It is the moment when resistance gives way,
and we stop insisting on our own footing.
This Is Where the Turning Happens
This is where many hesitate.
Because yielding feels like loss.
Because surrender feels unsafe.
Because trusting another way requires letting go of control.
But this is the turning point.
The will, once yielded, is not diminished.
It is redeemed.
Lifted.
Re-aimed.
Filled with power not its own.
From Natural to Divine
The natural man does not disappear overnight.
Conversion is not erasure.
It is training.
A slow, faithful reorientation of desire—
from self-preservation to obedience,
from impulse to covenant,
from fear to trust.
Day by day.
Choice by choice.
Conversion Is Ongoing
Conversion is not something you check off.
It is something you live into.
It is renewed every morning
when you choose His way over your own.
Again.
And again.
And again.
This is not weakness.
This is discipleship.
The Quiet Miracle
And here is the quiet miracle:
When the will is yielded,
peace does not need to be chased.
It arrives.
Not because the storm has passed,
but because you are no longer fighting the One who walks upon it.
Tomorrow:
Have Miracles Ceased?
Walking where only trust makes footing possible.
