Thank You Jesus! My Story of Being Saved!

The Lord blessed me so much by allowing me to grow up in a home where I was regularly taken to church. This allowed me to hear the gospel from a very young age. However, throughout my time in children's ministry, I never fully understood the gospel or accepted Jesus as the Savior of my life.

As a kid, I considered myself "good" because I made good grades and listened to my parents *most* of the time. Fortunately, the Lord would soon reveal to me my lack of "goodness" within my own power.

In junior high, I had a youth pastor speak on making your faith your own, and the Lord revealed to me that I loved church and believed God was real, but that I didn't have a personal relationship with Him. I made the decision to follow Jesus as my Savior and Lord; I decided to hand my whole life over to Him.

After that time, I know I'm in a relationship with my Savior and I know I get to spend eternity with Him.

My life has certainly not been a perfect example of Christ, but I am so incredibly thankful that the Lord walks with me each day as I grow closer to Him and, therefore, grow to look more like Him.

I am so incredibly thankful that Jesus interceded in my life, and I live every day, until eternity, within the purpose I was created for, sharing about who He is! This relationship I have with Him began in my seventh-grade year and will continue in heaven for all of eternity because I have confessed with my mouth and believed in my heart that Jesus died for my sins and defeated death! If I could share one thing with you, it would be that deciding to follow Jesus was the best decision of my life. and if you want the same assurance of your eternity and if you want to live life in the way you were created to: Talk to Jesus, Admit you're a sinner, Believe in your heart that Jesus died and came back from the dead and that you want Him to be your Lord and Savior.
