I was 18 years old and sitting in the balcony of our church. Although I had grown up in a Christian home, I had not yet turned my life over to Christ.
While I sat in church with my friends, I knew that I had to ask Jesus into my life. I had a Sunday School teacher, Don, whom I greatly respected, and I wished I could speak with him. The minister was preaching, and I made my way down the balcony stairs to the foyer. I realized the congregation was inside the assembly room listening to the minister, but there in the foyer was Don! He later informed me that he felt the nudging of the Holy Spirit to go to the foyer.
Tears ran down my face and I told Don that I wanted to turn my life over to God. I am so thankful that Don obeyed the prompting of the Holy Spirit and God placed in the foyer right when I needed someone to talk with. That was 54 years ago, and I have never regretted my decision.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
Psalm 52:10
