I just feel like I need to thank the Lord for all His many blessings…The most important blessing I ever got was when the Lord saved me…I got saved on April 30, 1979…Maybe you don’t remember the date when you got saved but you will never forget where you were and what happened…I got saved at Goodwill Missionary Baptist church in Hartsville, Tenn.
I was praying so hard for the Lord to save me…I was in a lot of spiritual trouble…I was on the floor by the altar. I remember leaning back on my ankles and saying “Lord, I don’t know what else to do” Right at that moment He saved my soul!! It was like I went to sleep or something…When I came to myself I was different…I slept that night like I never had since I was 9 years old and realized that I was lost and needed to be saved…I have not been the same since…I go to sleep peacefully and wake up rejoicing that when I die, I AM GOING TO HEAVEN!!!
I am going to Heaven because He saved me that night…It is not because I have done anything good or because I have tithed or tried to help my neighbor along the way..all those things are good deeds, but I am going to Heaven because that Monday night, on the second Sunday night of the revival, down on that floor, The Lord saved me!! Religion is what we do for God, but Salvation is what He does for us…Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me…I once was lost but now I’m found..was blind but now I see…….The old sailor who penned down the beloved hymn, Amazing Grace knew what I am talking about…Do you? I hope you do…If you have salvation, don’t be afraid or ashamed to tell your testimony….This is mine… God bless all
