It was a beautiful spring Sunday morning, and I just felt different. Not different in a bad way, but I felt nervous and excited. Like I was going to take a test or a job interview, I was wearing my jeans and a long sleeve pink Hollister collar shirt w/my flip flops and I was on my way to church. As I walked in, I wanted to sit in the front this time. The place was getting packed, but all I can think of was, "Why I'm I so nervous?" I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was restless in my seat. My stomach ached and I can feel it grumbling. The worship started and it was the BEST worship that morning. Each song was just hitting my heart. It felt like my heart was peeling the layers it had. The layers, of sadness, broken heart, resentment, anger, frustration, loneliness. All those layers where just being lifted from my heart! I was a mess already, and the message hadn't even started. Then, after the message. When my pastor asked if anyone wanted to come up and give their life to Jesus Christ that He has forgiven you of all your sins and that you accept Him in your life as your personal Lord and Savior. I wanted to run up to the alter! I knew that I needed to get up to that alter and I needed Jesus! I made my way up, and I was crying but I felt like such a huge weight was lifted. It was the best feeling ever! I just knew that Jesus was in my heart now and He has taken away all my sins. He has delivered me! The Bible says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature." 2 Corinthians 5:17. And this is exactly what I was now! I new creature! And I totally felt it! I came rushing home to tell my parents the BEST news ever! I was saved! I was saved and redeemed and delivered. Thank you Jesus for coming into my heart 5 years ago today!!
