Her Testimony

I was saved at New Liberty Missionary Baptist Church in a revival meeting. My parents took me to church often and we attended many revivals. I realized I was lost when I was 16. I was under great conviction but put off going to the altar. Brother James Abbott was preaching on Friday night and I felt as though he was preaching only to me. God's amazing grace got hold of me and led me to the altar that night. I asked the Lord, "Please, please, save me. I don't want to go to hell." It seemed like I could see a light from heaven that filled me with sweet peace and my burden was lifted. I know God saved me and I'm glad I opened the door to let Him in.
