I don’t remember a whole lot from the day I got saved. I was 4 years old. I don’t remember thinking much about salvation before that day.

That afternoon there was a really bad thunderstorm with a lot of hail and we were just watching it from the window. My aunt was at my house and it started to hail. I remember her saying something like “wow this storm is really bad it almost seems like the Lord’s going to come.” I remember that thought terrifying me because I knew that if the Lord came I would be left behind.

I yelled out “The Lord can’t come I’m not saved!” Then a few minutes later my mom went back to her room to fold laundry. I followed her and i was crying. I told her that I wanted to be saved. So she sat me down and read me a few verses. She read me John 3:16 and Acts 16:31

John 3:16 KJV
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Acts 16:31 KJV
[31] And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

I knew I was a sinner and that I was going to hell and through those verses I realized that Jesus died for me so that I don’t have to go to Hell. All I needed to do was just accept the fact that God loves me so much that he sent his son to die for me. It was really that simple.

I am very grateful I got saved so young. But it hasn’t always been easy. I have had a lot of doubts. But anytime I have doubts, I Just go back to the fact that Jesus died for me and it’s really that simple. There’s nothing that I could have done because He did it all for me on the cross.
