I was saved in December, 20 years ago. I was 5 years old and had been troubled or over a year. I knew I was a sinner and was going to hell but I just couldn’t figure out how to be saved.

I was so confused with how to believe and to have faith… So It was on a Sunday night after gospel meeting. Amand Losier was the speaker and he read a verse in Matthew 19:14:

Matthew 19:14 KJV
[14] But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

That verse kept going through my head. It was later on that night in my room that it all came so clear and simple that everything was done. All I had to do was to come to him and that was it!

I was saved the day before my 8th birthday. August 5th, 2006. I don’t remember being majorly troubled before this day, but it was always in the back of my mind that if the Lord came, I’d be left behind… and that always terrified me.

Mom and dad were gone to Ireland and we were staying at Grammie and Grampie Wallace’s. I was listening to a tape (I feel old now 😂) and one of the songs was “I’ll Fly Away”, and it hit me all at once, I wasn’t saved. I’d be left behind in my sins and there would be no hope for me after that.

I went upstairs and knew I needed to get this settled right then, because something else that scared me, was that the Lord might stop dealing with me. I asked Him to save me and realized that it was soo simple. That if I just believed that he died for ME, I wouldn’t be left behind and I wouldn’t have to go to hell.

So so simple. People always say it’s just like child-like faith, but that’s exactly what it was for me. I just believed Him, and he saved me. 😊♥️
