Praise God. Over a couple of years I have battled with the idea of giving my life to christ. I was born again in the 80s but later lost direction. last year, I decided to try living like a christian just to test the waters again. I got involved in church activities, stopped partying, had devotions, etc. By the end of the year, I resolved to commit my life but kept waiting for a special occasion. I gave God many excuses such as I will wait for a particular preacher that I like to make the altar call. Sometimes I would go to church knowing I will respond if they make the altar call but then in most cases, my husband and I would not be in talking terms so I kept thinking I need to first sort out the homefront before I can commit myself. Or I would argue the altar call was for newborns. Then in feb 16th the preacher I liked delivered a sermon and the altar call also specified those who had been saved but wandered from the truth. I knew I had run out of excuses and I dedicated my life to christ. A decision that was long overdue and I praise God for opening my eyes.

Praise our Heavenly father! Thankyou for your testimony- I pray that you'll know HIS presence in your life, that you'll be secure in your identity as a precious child of the most high God, and that through your witness, many more will come to know HIS saving grace!

I am happy for you. I fell away for a time also but true to His word, He never left me nor forsook me. It is a joy to be in his path. I pray that your faith will grow and you grow in the knowledge of Him.

Sue, this is wonderful news and I rejoice with you! I pray your faith and love for our Father will only increase and you will have opportunities to help others know Him too. May your life be a testimony of the change receiving Jesus into our hearts makes. May His steadfast love bless and keep you every day.

Praise be to our Loving God and Saviour! You are the sweet little lamb that wandered from the fold. Our Lord left the others safely within the fence and went off in search of you. All the while you huddled, scared and ashamed, He only wanted to hold you safely in His arms. Now, you are safe. You know He loves you. And, we all rejoice with Him that you are safely home!

May He continue to bless your life as you grow in the knowledge of His promises, His will for your life, and His provision. May you never again be afraid to run into His arms. May you know without a doubt that He requires nothing but Your trust in His goodness and great love for you. Thank You, Lord Jesus for finding Sue and bringing her home to us!

The best is yet to be...

Sue,

Welcome back to the fold of Grace where the only Lord of lords is King - Jesus.

Welcome to the only fold where the Shepherd never disowns his sheep.

Welcome to the only fold where the Shepherd can afford to leave the 99 and seek the 1 that is missing.

Welcome back to the sweetest LOVE you can ever imagine.

Welcome back for good. Never to leave again.
