When Is The Time?

For today's writing,the year 1995 was the year I became a child of God! It was the summer before entering sophomore year of high school. Basically I was going through some stuff with friends that weren't so good. Thank God my Auntie Vickie was probably knocked in the Heart by the Holy Spirit! She was probably feeling that the Lord was speaking to her and saying speak to that girl Sam about me! At the time her and her family didn't live too far from me. I don't remember specifics. But I do remember opening up to her about everything. It was really weird, because I've never spoken to her so deeply like that with her before. She was probably surprised as I was. So, after I poured out all of the bad stuff I've done, she didn't judge me, or disrespect me. She did not pick up the phone and start dialing my mom. She just showed me love. She told me about Jesus Christ. I told her I already knew everything. I went to church every Sunday. I even went to a class every Monday night where they would teach about the catechism. So, I told Auntie Vickie I was all good.Then, she did something that was pretty alien to me. She took out a Bible! She gave it to me, and told me to read John chapter 3. So, I told her okay I will read it when I get home. She talked to me more and told me about Jesus and that he died for me and all my sins were taken away. Again thanks but I already knew. Then, she said something that I've never heard before. And, she used the word "relationship." She told me that I needed to be in a relationship with Jesus. That was something I knew I was not. So, she asked me if I wanted to pray with her. So, we prayed together and I asked Jesus to come live inside my heart. And became assured of my salvation. And I knew I would go to heaven after I died. I knew that Jesus forgave me of my sins when I would ask him. She knew that the people I hung around with were not exactly good for me. So she was telling me to pray for Christian friends. I remember she even got me a book about Christian friends. Within days, my aunt was introduced to Ashburn Baptist Church. She started taking me to her church with her and her kids. That Bible that she told me to read, I started reading it and reading it and reading it. Because I took that step of faith and walked into his domain. I accepted Jesus in as my personal Lord and savior. I am now saved by the blood of Jesus! When I die I'm going to heaven. While I'm here on Earth, I will try my best to follow God's words and will for my life. However, I also know that when I mess up I'm automatically forgiven, as long as I ask for forgiveness. That was a pretty good turn around from what my attitude was like when I didn't have that relationship. I gave my writing the title this morning, "When is the time?" Well, if we're talking about accepting Jesus? Now is the time. Do you guys believe that? I hope you do! My friends, I have no idea when or even if people will get that time. I have a friend Carey Lewis who accepted Jesus in her mid fifties! I know of little kids who had conscious Minds already then accepted Jesus into their hearts. I've heard of serial killers, perilous men and women roaming around in this world. They later accepted Jesus Christ and were forgiven of their sins! See, folks it doesn't matter when the time will be when you accept Jesus Christ. It doesn't matter what you have done before accepting Jesus Christ. Because once you do that your slate is wiped clean. Jesus forgets all the bad stuff we have ever done. We just need to ask him to forgive us!
