Five minutes can change everything

Mark as read

He went in looking for a friend and came out having found God.

André Frossard entered a chapel without seeking any spiritual answer. He was an atheist, he was distracted, and he only wanted to find a friend. Five minutes later, his way of seeing life had completely changed. Not all conversions follow a long, orderly process. Sometimes God takes advantage of a crack you did not even know you had left open. You do not have to manufacture an emotion or pretend you already believe. What you can do is avoid shutting the door prematurely. Going in, staying silent, looking with honesty, and letting reality surprise you is also a form of seeking.

Key idea

God can find you even when you do not yet know how to seek him.

Your challenge for this idea

Step into a church for five minutes today and stay in silence, without demanding that you feel anything.
