Finding Jesus - My Story

My Testimony

When I was one, I was running around when camping with my Mom, Little brother, Dad and two older half brothers. After I wasn't supervised I heard a voice frome within the fire. It had said "Child, come." It was the first time I heard this soft gentle voice, and I found it perfect, like what I was missing my whole life. So in awe and wonder as well as joy I ran around that fire, after a little bit I tripped and fell in the fire. But I felt a wonderful, kind, meciful, loving, presence. Little did I know that the presence was God, he spoke the same voice I heard and this time he said "Child, You will be okay." So I responded in my heart with 'I will follow you.' without prompting or anything, only a desire to feel more of him. And so he lifted me right before I responded and put me on the solid ground.

I dont remember much after, my parents blame eachother. I think I was at a standstill while my Mom says I just ran again.

To this day, I only have a single burn from that fire and have had no issues. This aligns with scripture where it reads
"You will pass through deep waters.
    But I will be with you.
You will pass through the rivers.
    But their waters will not sweep over you.
You will walk through fire.
    But you will not be burned.
    The flames will not harm you." (Isaiah 43:2)

That was the day I chose to follow him. The day my heart was set on fire for him.

[I used child as a replacement for my name. There's a Testimony I have for being baptized into my church but I don't know where it is right now.]
