Salvation
HOORAYYYY, SHAWN ACCEPTED CHRIST:DDDDDDAye, I remember the first time I accepted Christ. I was crying at the front when I received God's love back into my life, I could feel His presence all around me & I knew my heart was beating really fast. I was, am, happy. Even until now:D
I remember when my cousin, Esther, accepted Christ in my old church. I was grinning like a fool, so happy and my heart was bursting with joy. Walking down to the front with her was amazing, it was like, WOW.
I remember when Eleanor accepted Christ. I smiled once more like an idiot, but an idiot with a reason to smile for. I was extremely happy, I was overjoyed.
I remember when Dionne accepted Christ, I was yelling in her ear, I was hugging her, I was tearing, my heart was bursting.
I remember when Nerissa accepted Christ. I gave her a huge bear hug, I cried, I was so happy. I was excited. I knew that God had touched her.
I remember when Joel and Kang Wei accepted Christ. I was telling them what I felt God was telling me. They raised their hands. I didn't know what happened next but I knew that I felt God. I knew they accepted Christ and I was screaming inside. I smiled so big I was sure my face would rip apart. That was how happy I was.
I remember when Shawn accepted Christ. I was sitting about 3 rows back. I saw Joel talking to him, I saw Jonathan turning around with Solomon. Then, Pastor Daniel asked the question. During worship, I felt God tell me that today is the day he will be saved. I saw Jeremy raise his hand and point towards Shawn. I knew I was one of the first to clap because I heard myself. I was thrilled. I was smiling like no one's business. I was so so so so SO happy, almost to the point of crying. I am emotionalD: I wanted to grab hold of him after he had said the Sinner's Prayer and shake him on the shoulders and scream:
YOU ACCEPTED CHRIST! YOU ACCEPTED CHRIST! And cry and give him a big hug. But I didn't cos he's a guy and if I did the leaders would be like ?! . Yes, Shawn if you're reading this, this was exactly what I wanted to do to you. And just to admit something, I didn't buy your present on your birthday. I bought it this morning:P
Haha, I like remembering stuff like this. It makes me happy. My mother is going to Japan, Osaka later. Oh dear, I'm hungry againD:
Love,
Zoie Esther
