Daily Encouragement For May 17:

Jesus Came In

I was 16 when I decided to accept the Lord Jesus as my savior. When I was 
not a Christian I used to do all the stuff non-Christians will do. For 
example; I used to get into alot of fights, I like to cause fights, and 
also take drugs at a young age. I was so blind then, I didn't know what 
was right and what was wrong. Then everything changed...

I had a friend, her name was Rachel, and she invited me to come to a bible study 
at her church. It was really good. I always believed that there was a God, 
but I never thought of worshipping Him. As I continued to attend the bible 
study's every Saturday night, I began to have that desire to follow Christ. I 
wanted to accept Christ as my savior, but I didn't know how and I didn't know 
if I was ready or not. 

About 7 months past and then a pastor from the island of Palau came over to 
our church. He came on a ministry trip to Guam where I stay now. For about 
3 nights in a row he gave sermons about revelations and what's going to happen. 
He said that there was no time to wait, because we don't know when Jesus will 
return again. He said that we have to be ready at all times. That night I felt 
the Holy Spirit touch me. I never had a feeling like it. It was Gods will that 
I accept Jesus as my Savior and Lord. That night as I ask the Pastor to help me 
accept Jesus.  I burst out with tears in my eyes. I knew from then that I 
could not do anything without Christ in my life. That night I accepted 
Jesus into my heart and I was a Christian. 

I thank God for the gift of eternal life through his son Jesus which He has 
given us. I hope that when other readers read this story about me that they 
will come to know Christ and have that desire to serve him. I pray that 
this testimony will touch the lives of the unbelievers that read it. 

Thank you and God bless. 

In Christ
