I’ve just read Jim’s story and it has excited me again. I must share it with you.

    Jim begins his story this way:

    “I never thought much about having a personal relationship with Jesus until age 18. A few people started telling me about him. Finally, I picked up a Bible and read some of the New Testament. The words of Jesus leaped out at me. I knew he was real and his words were true. Unfortunately, I closed the Bible for a few years, and lived life on my own terms.”

I knew he was real and his words were true.

    About age 23 he says, “I felt God pulling on my heart. I opened that Bible and I took another look at Jesus. His love became more attractive. It was clear there was a cost to following him. I’d have to turn my back on my selfish and sinful way of living. But the pull to Jesus Christ was so strong. One evening I knew I was ready. I gave my heart to Jesus Christ. It was the turning point of my life. Oh, I’ve had ups and down since then. I’ve always, though, felt that Jesus has led me into a life that wants to please him.”
