Saved from Fear
I am an orphan. I have no dad or mom and I live with my grandmother who is very old. But I thank God because since the time I was left without parents, when I was seven years old, she took care of me.
I was 13 years old when a minister came to hold meetings in our village. On January 28, 2006, I decided to give my life to Jesus Christ. That is when Jesus took over my life and changed me. After one month my grandmother also gave her life to Jesus Christ. She has also been changed by Jesus. Praise God.
Let me tell you how Jesus changed our lives. Before we accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior, life was very hard for us. We had no friends to help us, and we had no faith in God because we did not know Him. We were always in fear of evil spirits and people that were unkind to us. Everywhere we went we had no peace. Often I was late to school because of the problems we had. My life was miserable.
I thank God that He is the one who has plans for everybody. I thank God for His plan of saving us from a sinful life and the darkness of this world. Now we have something to thank God for. We are His children by grace, through Jesus Christ. Praise be to God.
I thank God for saving me. Now I am His child and He has changed my life. I am now in peace with God and also in school. Praise Jesus. I still have problems, but I trust God with all of them. I have learned that my help comes from my Heavenly Father, and that gives me peace inside. I love God with all my heart, spirit and my soul. When I have a problem, I tell my Heavenly Father because He cares for me.
