My life before Christ was like any 4 year old’s life. I had a mom, dad, and sister who were pretty much my life. Then I got to that point in my life where I started to pray at the dinner table. Then as time went on my mom and dad started a family devotion and I prayed sometimes after the devotion. But I wasn’t praying out of my heart; I was just praying like I would hear my mom and dad praying. And I didn’t really know who or what I was praying to. Of course, I knew there was a big God who loved me and I learned about Him in Sunday School, but I didn’t know Him. I knew I needed something else in my life but I just didn’t know how to get it.
A couple months after we started the family devotion, my parents started talking to me about how Jesus came down to earth and died on the cross for my sins. There were so many things that I realized the more they talked to me. My parents waited until I understood everything completely, and then my dad and I were talking in his truck when I told him I wanted Jesus to come into my heart. So then and there he prayed with me, and Jesus was with me forever! But that’s not where my story ends. My life didn’t change; I mean, I knew I had Jesus in my life and Iwent to church, but I didn’t know what it meant to be a Christian. But my first year at Children’s Camp I felt the Holy Spirit touch my heart and that night I rededicated my life to the Lord.
My life has totally changed since Christ entered it. Sometimes I think about what my life would be like without Him and it would be COMPLETELY empty! The Lord has been with me through everything, and I love spending time in His word and talking to Him. The thing about talking to him is that he always listens. I love being one of his children and serving him and he changed my life FOREVER!
