Right There in My Room

My life, before I asked God into my heart, is not something I really remember. My family went to church every Sunday. I remember one special Sunday evening when I was four. My father was preaching at church and he shared that in order to go to heaven you must ask God to forgive you of your sins and to be Lord of your life. After sharing this, he asked if there was anyone who would like to do this. I clearly remember sitting in my seat wanting to raise my hand, but not doing it. When my family got home that evening, I talked with my mom and told her I had wanted to raise my hand. That night in my room, my mother helped me pray to ask God into my life.

I cannot share how different my life is now in comparison to when I was four, but because I have gone through several stages of life, I can look back and see how God has protected and guided me through the years. Except for God's grace and mercy, my life would have been completely different.

My life has not even been close to perfect! I have struggled with truth. I have made awful decisions. I have set bad examples. But through it all, I have had a Savior who has forgiven and loved me. Even now, when I continue to fail, He still forgives me.

My hearts desire is to live a life that would please God, to have Him be proud of me. Knowing that He loves and cares for me, even when I struggle, makes me love Him more.
