Testimony
At the age of eleven, I had been in church most of my life and knew enough to understand that I did not live a life that honored the Lord. Selfishness, pride and a love for “things” all seemed to keep me at arm’s length from being who God wanted me to be. After hearing the gospel message that Jesus lived a perfect life, suffered a horrible death on a cross(for all of us) and rose from the dead, I sensed God drawing me to Himself and I surrendered my life to Jesus, declaring Him Savior and Lord of my life.
Each day is a gift from the Lord and I try, by the power of His Spirit living in me, to bring honor and glory to Him in everything I do. If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, maybe today is the day of salvation for you!
