When you accepted Jesus
Do you remember the day you got saved? Did you grow up hearing and knowing about Jesus? Or did you heed His call later on in life?
Cant wait to hear about THE most precious memory that you have
Blessings to you all

Yes I remember the day I was saved. I did grow up hearing about Jesus, but never accepted Him. I lived a sinner's life for 30 years before I found my one true love. I'm so glad He never gave up on me in those 30 years, that He was still waiting for me when I found Him. It was the most awesome day of my life...it was the day I could finally go to sleep and not worry about if I died tonight where would I go....My Jesus is not only love, forgiveness, and grace, but He is peace.
I've been walking in His steps ever since, and He and I grow closer daily.

My Grandmother told me about Jesus. I felt him in her. But she died when I was very young.
When I was about 11 I went to a Christian camp where I was told I was a sinner and was told about hell. I went down and accepted Jesus as my savior so I didn't burn forever in hell.
The next night I was told the same thing so I went down to accept Jesus again.
Then I was told If I was sensire I would be baptised. So I decided to be baptised to keep my soul from hell.
When being explained what baptism meant I accepted Christ as my savior again.
Over the next 8 or so years I accepted Christ as my savior a thousand times. Well I didn't count. But it was a lot. Never understanding that It wasn't what I did or could do that saved me from hell.
I grew up feeling like God was waiting for me to mess up so he could toss me into hell.
I didn't understand that I was accepted as Gods child by grace through a loving God until I was about 25.

Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up! Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us.

I was going to my first chruch camp. I was thinking i was such a loser because of it. But what i found out was that it was alot of fun and i learned alot. I remember one night the speaker mike was talking about what are we living for. I couldn't answer that question and i just started crying for the first time in years. My youth leader april came up to me and just started hugging me and i didn't know what to do. She told me just to cry it out. I cried for about 45 mins and then we talked about God. I remember feeling this love that i had never felt before. I decided that i wanted to feel that love for the rest of my life and show other people that. So i got back home and got baptized by my grandpa. My whole family was there; even my mom and dad. I will never forget that weekend or that day.
