“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Revelation 3:20 (NKJV)
The first time I heard about God was when I was five years old. There were missionaries visiting our community who were holding a summer Bible club for kids, right next door to our house. I heard the singing and I was curious, so I went to check it out. That was the first time I heard that there was a God who created the world, and that He was present throughout the whole universe. I couldn’t believe it.
I thought, “No, it’s impossible to be everywhere.” (I guess I was too young to comprehend what even grown-ups can’t understand!)
It was not until the summer of 1975 that missionaries were back in our community. August 9th is the day that I accepted the Lord into my life. God had planted a seed in my heart and, in His plan, He chose me! I thank God for all He has done in my life, and what He is continuing to do as I mature in the Lord. I am very grateful that I listened to God’s call, beginning at the very young age of five.
To my brothers and sisters in Christ who have taught me and are continuing to disciple me in my walk with the Lord . . . thank you for
giving to the Lord; I am a life that was changed! To my brothers and sisters in Christ who are discipling others . . . keep going. It makes a
difference. Do not grow weary in doing good. The seeds you are planting will make a difference. I am proof.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for all that You have done in my life. Help me to be bold and to share the Good News of salvation with
my family and friends. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
