:saint:Wow, how great it is to be a child of God.
Well, here we go...I am almost 54, and lived my life, prior to being saved, the way I wanted to live. What a mistake!!! Pride will kill you, if God doesn't save you. I thought I knew everything, didn't want to hear any better, didn't want to go to church, I could pray at home....and on and on. Sooooo.....
Here I was, at that time, approaching 50 yrs. old, no job, many addictions, a second failed marriage....didn't know what to do. I had tried to quit the addictions, but gotten really sick. So, I just said to God, "God, I can't do this anymore. I need your help!!!!" Well, when the Word says, just call on HIS name, you will be saved, it is TRUE!!!!!
At that moment, my heart changed. I could not stop crying. I, desperately wanted to go to Sunday school, church, the whole nine yards. I was a new person. One addiction at the time dropped off. No sickness, not none!!!!
I was baptized at the Baptist church in the town that I lived. My youngest daughter and my brother are still members of that church. Thanks, also, for their prayers...I know now, that God does hear our prayers. He has demonstrated that time and time again, since I was saved.
Those that knew before salvation can be witnesses to the changes HE did in me. My ex-husband(2) told me that he wanted what I had. He said, I can see the difference in your eyes. They sparkle!!!! Alleluia. I tell everyone, Jesus is the ULTIMATE "high."
So, now, I'm an heir with God, and a joint-heir with Jesus. What more can a girl ask for??!!!~~~~ Yea......
I plead with those that don't know him, to please, please, take the chance. It will be the best decision you ever make. :pp:pp
