Paula's Testimony

When I was 8 years old, I came to the realization that something was not right in me. At the time, I wasn't sure what it was. My Sunday School teacher, Betty Hanor, had been teaching about how God loved us all. But we were all sinners to Him and our sin kept us from being able to know Him. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for our sins. She said if we would ask Jesus into our heart and accept Him as Lord of our life, He would accept us. I knew that was what I had to do.

So on a Sunday evening in May, 1961, I asked Jesus into my heart. I can't explain the feeling that flooded into me when I made that decision. I only know I felt the void fill up!

Since that night, I have felt God with me in everything I do. He leads me when I need guidance, comforts me when I am sad, gives me peace when I am in turmoil, carries me when I don't think I can make it through another day.

I love Him with all my heart! You can too, if you just ask Him into your heart.
