Testimony

Hi All!  How are you?  Last week we talked about the man born blind in John 9.  Jesus healed him by making clay from dirt and His spit.  Upon his healing, controversy arose over his testimony of being healed.  The man born blind (aka Steve) willingly shared his testimony with all who wanted to hear it (except for the Pharisees who wanted to hear it again but didn't want to believe in God).  He didn't have a fine tuned speech, he told what happened.

Talking about testimony, I would like to share a bit of my testimony.  For those who don't know who even writes these posts, this is Lisa - dark haired girl who usually sits in the back with tall husband named Nathan - currently serving as volunteer staff with IV.

When I was a kid, I went to a kids bible club called AWANA (Approved Workmen are not Ashamed).  We had games, memory scripture recitation, and lesson time.  When I was about 7 years old, during the lesson time, a lady got up to give the lesson.  She had a big red felt heart hanging around her neck.  She talked about sins she committed, and every time she sinned, she put a black dot on her big heart.  I felt convicted, and I remember bowing my head during the lesson and telling God I didn't want to sin anymore.  I knew He entered my heart then.

Since then many more things have happened which I would be glad to share with you, but would be too long for this blog post.  Remember that no matter what your testimony, it is valid proof of the living God, Jesus Christ inside of you.
