It Was Prayers That Got Me Here !

What in the world happened to me on that baptismal day? Well it flat out changed my life, I don’t know what else to say. As my head went under in the darkness of that water I felt a cleansing of my soul. And as my head raised toward the light of day, it was then I knew that Jesus was in control. He accepted me the way I was, He forgave me of my sins. It was by His blood He shed, that I know that I am forever cleansed. Physically and looks wise I’m probably pretty much the same. Except I’ve got a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye, aren’t you glad our Savior Jesus came? So when you see me with a big smile on my face and there is no one else around. My mind is on my Savior and in His glories I’ll be found. Sometimes I sit and ponder on the life that I once led. I was born again, thanks to Jesus, and now that old life is dead. My wife and my momma would pray and pray and pray. Lord please forgive him, he’s good Lord, how many times did I hear them say. There must have been power in those prayers cause something got me here. So if you know someone who needs salvation then let me make it clear. Keep on praying for that person no matter what they’ve said or done. Never give up praying until you know without a doubt the battle has been won. I knew there was something missing before I let Jesus enter my heart. Was there something I was afraid of or was it I didn’t know where to start? I still don’t know that answer but I’m sure glad of what’s been done. And now I pray for my children that they find salvation each and every one. Lord I Praise You!
