I heard the gospel plenty of times before I got saved and it made no sense to me whatever. When the Spirit of God was convicting me of the truth of it, the same message became clear as day.

I had the same experience last Christmas eve. A friend invited me to her church for the service and the very minute that I walked into the sanctuary I was flooded with the Holy Spirit from my head to my toes. I also couldn't stop crying. In fact, for the first few weeks I couldn't attend a service without shedding tears - of relief that I was finally in God's arms and that he had forgiven me of my past - I was truly saved!!! I knew then that I had found my Church home where God wanted me to be. I have been going there every week and am a VERY active member now.

Life is so different now. I'm also a very different person - all in good ways. I truly enjoy sharing the Word whenever I have the opportunity and God has led me to some very spiritually rewarding volunteer work with the local CHRISTIAN homeless shelter.

I am so grateful that God never gave up on me and has revealed himself as a loving God rather that the God to be feared that I was brought up with in the Catholic church.

Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. Praise the Lord for his faithfulness. Praise his name that souls are being won to him every day and everywhere.
