The Day I Gave My Heart To Him

This morning as I awoke from my sleep I was reminded instantly of the day I gave my heart to Him. The day I gave my heart to my King. It was the most important day of my life and one that I never ever want to forget. This day paved the beautiful path to my eternity. It is a wonderful path of love and forgiveness. It is also a path of no more beating myself up for the things in my past. All the mistakes that I have made along the first part of my life are now flushed down the toilet. I am squeaky clean and as crystal clear in my heart before my Savior. Many people are ashamed to speak His name out loud. Let me be perfectly clear that I will never deny the Name above all other names. His Name is the Name that saved me. The enemy may try to destroy my body, but He cannot have my soul. The name above all other names is the Name of my Savior. His name is Jesus Christ and He knocked on the door to my heart when I was 9 years old. I opened the door and let Him walk right in. I invited Him to make Himself at home as the tears just streamed down my face. It was like the 4th of July in there as the spiritual fireworks began firing in a million different directions. It was a joy that I cannot even express in words. I think the Lord wanted it to be that way! He knocked on the door to my heart and said, "Child, it's Me. I am Jesus and I want to come in and live in your heart. Won't you invite Me in?" No hesitation. No anxieties. Just pure peace. He is my Lord and He loves me like no one else. This was the day that I gave my heart to my King! Gwendolen Rix 2-23-15
