The Difference Makers
I have always known God. He has always been present in my life. I got saved and baptized when I was thirteen. But, I didn’t come to truly have Jesus and the Holy Spirit in my life until I was twenty-seven. They are the difference maker. You will hear about God (or gods) in any religion, but to know Jesus and the Holy Spirit is life. Without them, you don’t have a true relationship with God, and that’s what we need—not religion with Him, but relationship with Him.
Someone I knew past away suddenly this week, and after praying for his family I realized I didn’t truly know if he had accepted Jesus in his life. Every conversation I had with him I all of a sudden regretted because I never spent more time getting to know him better or even sharing something with him about Jesus.
I’m very laid back, and people tend to confuse that with shyness or me being very quiet, but I truly have a lot to say. It just all stays in my mind until I feel it’s appropriate to say out loud or I write it down in my journal. But, one thing I want to be clearly heard about is that I am a believer in Jesus Christ and I desire all my family and loved ones to invite Jesus into their lives so that we all can go to Heaven and enjoy everlasting life with the One True God. Having Jesus in your life is the best life you will ever have—on this side and in eternity.
My testimony is this: -Jesus waited for me. -When I came back to Him in the middle of my brokenness and my sin, He accepted me. -Jesus loves me like no one else ever could, even myself. -I am enough for Him even if I’m not enough for anyone else. -Jesus is always happy to hear from me, be with me, and speak to me. -Jesus had a purpose for me before He even created me. -Jesus wants what’s best for me, and He knows what’s best because He created me. -I am His and He is mine.
I got saved through my church, but I received Jesus by a simple prayer:
Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I repent of my sins and ask for Your forgiveness, Lord. I know that You died for me and rose from the grave. I know you are the Son of God. I desire to live my life for You. I invite You (back) into my life as my Lord and Savior.
I pray that this prayer touches your heart and you confess it with all your soul. It will be the best decision you will ever make.
I love you all!!!!!
