Have you ever heard the story Howard Hendricks tells of a young man who met Christ after many years of life in the world? After his conversion he went to his first prayer meeting. Everyone was getting up and uttering their flowery (and maybe showy) prayers.
Finally, this new convert stood to pray and said, “Lord, this is Mel. I’m not sure whether you remember me or not . . . I met you last Tuesday night. I just wanted to say . . . well . . . Thank-you for changing my life.” And then he sat down.
The simplicity and honesty of that prayer brought tears to the eyes of many.
I suspect it brought a smile to the face of the Father. What do you think?
