Tom Roberts Born Again: Before Christmas in 1980
|
My Testimony |
I had been in church all of my life, but never really felt anything until the fall of 1980. I got sick and had to have surgery. I was very scared, but still nothing. Surgery went well, but I knew something was missing, and I still did not know what to do. When I got out of school for Christmas break that year, me and a friend of mine went to Alabama on a hunting trip. We went to Meridian, Mississippi, to shop for Christmas gifts on Saturday.
Before checking out, while in line to pay at Hallmark, a man grabbed me by the arm and asked me if I knew Jesus. I told him that I had been in church all my life and he said, “That’s not what I asked you”. He told me that we needed to talk. I paid for my stuff and we sat down on a bench just outside. After we talked for a minute, I knew that I was lost and needed the Lord in my life. I got down on my knees and asked the Lord to save me and he did. It was such a feeling of relief and I could not wait to tell everybody. I have often thought how that man picked me out of such a big crowd. The Lord had to have led him to me. I am so thankful. I still sin, but I know through God’s grace I am forgiven.
"I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more. My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day, for I do not know their limits."
[Psalms 70:14-15]
