My Testimony |
ÿBy the age of fifteen, I had known for some time that I was lost. One day I was working in the wood shed and I was singing and thinking about God's love for me and I became deeply convicted of my sins. Right there I prayed and asked God to save me. The next thing I knew, the burden of sin was gone and I was very happy. For a few years I didn't go to church as I should and I began to wonder if I had really been saved. I was troubled, but every time I tried to pray for myself my mind went back to the wood shed where I found peace with the Lord. I realized I was saved and I united with the church. I have never doubted my salvation since that time. I believe it was necessary for me to join the church to be fully satisfied. That was 66 years ago and I've been happy since that day.

If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. [Luke 11:36]
