The Lord saved me on January 27, 2013.
My prayer is that my testimony will help someone that may be in a similar situation as I was with my salvation. I was helped by reading an article from a preacher's wife that, after many years of church service, realized she needed to be saved. The way she described her fears, doubts and anxiety over what others would think of her helped me see that I was not the only person that struggled with trying to convince myself I was a child of God.
For many years I believed I was a child of God. On the outside I looked and acted the part of a Christian, but within my heart I felt other Christians had something that was missing in my life.
I was raised in a Christian home by Christian parents. I was active in churches and often took leadership roles. But, for a long time I had doubts about my so-called Christian walk.
I realized that what was missing in my life was a knowledge of Jesus in my heart. I was embarrassed to admit to my family and friends that I needed to be saved. What would they think after all these years of my pretending to be saved?
The Lord is so patient and merciful to me! I repented of my sins and asked the Lord to come into my heart on Sunday morning, January 27, 2013. I can testify now that I no longer have any doubt about my salvation, my heart is full of the peace that passes all understanding and my family and friends rejoice with me that we will be together in heaven when this earthly life is done.
Blessings, Pamelyn
