A CHANGED PERSON!

I am a changed person in more than one way. The next day after my husband asked me to marry him he went back to where he lived and was working, 750 miles away. Then he wrote and asked me how I felt about the stance that Red China was taking. Huh! What stance? Who’s Red China? That’s how much I knew about world news back then. Now I can carry on a very intelligent conversation with him and sometimes I even know more than he does about the news, Whee! I began gradually to listen to the news and know about things, I had changed.

But there is another change in my life that is even more important! I really became a Christian!
I had always doubted whether I was a Christian until one day when I and my two grade school children had gone and spent some time with my sister and her two children close in age to my children. I was in a big hurry to get home, an hour away, before dark and so became rude to my sister and my son. On the way home I was feeling very sorry that I had been mean to my sister and little boy and the Lord just spoke into my heart very clearly, “That is why I died on the cross for you”. I knew then and there that I was definitely saved. But I didn’t know how much it had changed me until I heard my daughter talking to a friend of hers one day sometime after that. She said that she had been scared of me up to a certain point and then she couldn’t explain why she wasn’t. I thought about that for a few days and then realized that I had changed and didn’t even know it.

A dear friend said recently that she used to cuss and smoke and was mean but when she accepted the Lord, she thought that people had become so much nicer! She didn’t know that it was she that had changed! When you accept the Lord as your Savior, you truly are a changed person!

A merry day to you from The Merry Heart
