I am realizing that God does not usually change us with a big, explosive encounter (like Paul on the road to Damascus). I've waited for 36 years now. Sometimes I've picked up the Bible or a book and asked God to radically change my life (in one reading :) ...It's never happened.
In my experience, and from speaking to many believers, it would seem for the most part, that God works slowly. Even in praying, "God, exchange out this heart for a new one," I think sometimes I expect Him to do it in one wave of His wand.
But everyday, fibre by fibre, cell for cell, He's doing it. Sometimes it seems so slow, that no difference is noticed. The heart is made up of small cells, and we are comprised of small changes.
