Do I believe in a higher power? I believe in THE Higher Power, in the Creator of all things, from before this world we live in to all eternity. HE was before, HE sent His Son, Jesus Christ who, after He was crucified, rose again on the third day. He sent the Holy Spirit to live within us and Christ will come for His followers at the time appointed. We wait expectantly for His return but ONLY God, the Father, knows the time.
Having been raised in a Christian home and taken (with my parents) to worship every time there was a church service, I was raised knowing “about” God and “about” Jesus Christ. At age ten, I gave my heart to God through Christ and have never doubted my salvation. I doubted many times why God would send His Son for “my” salvation but the longer I serve HIM, the sweeter He grows. I have never doubted that Christ did die for my sins... It just seems such an enormous weight to bear for mine and ever one else’s sins. Mine seems to be too big a load and HE took the sins of the whole wide world’s sins.
As I have grown older and hopefully wiser, it is my one desire to live as close to our Lord as humanly possible. I want to follow God’s will in my life, point others to the Savior and always treat others in a manner that is a reflection of how Christ treated others while He was on Earth.
I have watched as my children and grandchildren and now great grandchildren have given their lives to Jesus. My grandchildren are rearing their children as I was raised. What a blessing to have a total of 30 members of my immediate family and know that they believe in ONE GOD, the God who was and is and is to come.
