Hilary was a young woman we saw converted in Aylesbury. She hadn't
expected to be converted - she came to church to try and make a bargain with
God, but he did exceeding abundantly above all she asked or imagined.
A few weeks later she came to see me. She'd been reading in 1 Corinthians
that a woman should not pray with her head uncovered (11:3). She explained
that, since she was the only Christian in her house, she did most of her praying
in the bath. Did God want her to get out and get a hat first, she asked? She
was serious - she just wanted to please him.
Though still very young, she died suddenly a year or two ago. She never
lost that joy in the Lord that made her want to please him in smallest details.
She never lost that willingness to understand - and then obey - the Bible.
God
give us more converts like Hilary.
