Today’s thoughts by Deborah Ard

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬ — For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Last week Julie shared her testimony. This week I am sharing my personal testimony, my Christian walk, and my version of our Water Walkers journey from the beginning. 

How did I get here? I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home. My dad was a United Methodist minister. While I was taken to church and church functions from birth, I didn’t accept Christ as my savior until the age of 8 or 9. We had a visiting youth group share a drama on the life of Christ. I was so touched and overwhelmed by emotion that when there was an altar call at the end of the service I felt the call to go forward and profess Jesus Christ as my Savior. From then on I have found guidance and comfort from the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Faith begins with trusting and believing that Jesus came so that you can have eternal life. Do you believe in Christ Jesus? Have you asked Him into your heart to forgive your sins and be Lord of your life? If you want more information you can  read more on our steps to peace page.

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for the gift of Your son, Christ Jesus. Forgive me of my sins and be Lord over my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
