As a Christian saved some twenty something odd years, I have noticed that I would (on occasion) forget about my early days of salvation. I was saved perhaps too young (if such a thing is possible). I didn?t fall into any serious sin as some other brothers and sisters nor have I ever really had a conscious draw towards the baser life. "Too Young" because I never got the full appreciation which may be found in those to whom "much is forgiven". I have seen brothers who have led a very dark life, perhaps even to the point of being sent to prison and now that they are free and saved they are the most dedicated evangelists and preachers ravenous for the fishing of men!
There is such a tremendous zeal found in those persons who are recent believers who have tasted of the heavenly calling and are walking in the light. Sometimes it is important for us (who have been in the faith for many years) to look through the eyes of the recently converted. For example, one day my son (at that point about a year and a half years old) and I were going outside for a walk and he was looking up at the sky and with a sigh of tremendous joy he points and says ?It?s BLUE!? and I got down to his level, turned and looked up at the sky for the first time all over again.
