What a beautiful Sunday as we watched our Goose follow the Lord in believer's baptism. She has been asking to do this for quite some time but had been encouraged by our pastor to wait until she was 8. Well this was the first Sunday that she was 8 and though she was excited, she was nervous to stand before everyone. She wrote out her testimony so Pastor could read it for her and imagine her surprise when he asked her to read it herself? She did a beautiful job and here it is below:
"I was four years old when I asked Jesus into my heart. My parents had explained to me that the bad things I did and thought were sins and that Jesus died so my sins could be forgiven. I knew that’s what I wanted Jesus to do for me and I prayed to Jesus, asking Him to wash my sins away and come and live in my heart. Since then I have learned more about Jesus and how much He loves me. I try to live the way He says to in the Bible and I’m happy to know I belong to His family."
Afterward she was so relieved and excited to know she had followed Jesus example and obeyed God's Word.
Acts 2:38 "Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"
