A little girl had great desire to join the church and the Pastor asked if she had experienced a change of heart. She answered “Yes.”

“Were you a sinner before?”

“Yes.”

“Are you a sinner now?”

Again she answered, “Yes.”

“Well then, what’s the difference?”

After a brief moment of thought she said, “Before I was a converted to Christ, I was a sinner running after sin; now, I am a sinner running away from sin.”
