It never fails to emotionally move me as to how I feel when I remember this day 35 years ago. Its very difficult for me to prevent tears from pricking my eyes as I reflect on a brief moment in time on the evening of 17th July 1979. It is a day that stands out as a major milestone in my life. The event lasted no more than a few minutes, yet it impacted my life every single day from then on. I was 14 years old. Sun had set and dark had fallen. I was in my bedroom and had decided I could go on no longer. Something had to change. I couldnt fool God. Everyone else may have thought I was a Christian, but I knew I wasnt. It was time. I bowed my head and prayed a brief prayer, asking for Jesus to come into my life. The miracle of new birth for me began on that day... and this is where I get all teary-eyed. Thirty-five years of Gods faithfulness!! What if someone promised you security for the rest of your life? Thats how I feel about 17th July 1979. I received an assurance of security for the rest of my life, both this life and the next. No wonder I get emotional. He is faithful beyond words can express and this security is available for all. Jesus is my Saviour. Romans 10:9 “If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Its an offer too good to turn down. God bless you today! In His Grip, Helga
