I just wanted to relate to you guys what happened at church this Sunday as proof that God is still working in people's lives! We had a sermon about the fear of dying and why it is normal to fear death, but also that if you are saved, you have no reason to fear because you are immediately ushered into God's prescence.
Well, at the end of the sermon, our pastor gave a VERY clear message of salvation, saying you can know for sure if you are saved and that there should be no confusion. He said that you do not have to wait until you are good enough or have your life in order and that today you can accept Christ. They played the invitation song and right at the end of the invitation song, an 88 year old woman came down the aisle to give her life to Christ! The whole church sprang to their feet and applauded her! Can you imagine being 88 years old and realizing you had missed God's call your whole life? So, she said her confession out loud and she even finished repeating it before the pastor said it...she was so excited.
Wes and I, being the softies that we are, were so touched! I had tears running down my face and Wes apparently had something in his eye. Haha. :) So, whether you are a Christian or not, please be encouraged especially during these tough times that we have a God who is bigger than all of our problems who is waiting for us to come running back to His arms! Even if you are 88 years old! It's not too late.
