“I had been living a lie, but Jesus wanted me to come home”
NewSpring saw 104 people come to know Jesus Sunday through Pastor Perry’s “Home For Christmas” sermon on Jesus as “Mighty God.” We received this amazing story from Greenville campus member and volunteer Jenna Morgan, who couldn’t attend because of work but ended up giving her life to Christ during the NewSpring Web Service.
“I have been down in the dumps lately and couldn’t figure out what was wrong. The message today finally told me that I have been living an unclean life. I thought I was saved but never was. I got “saved and baptized” at my old church when I was 6 or 7 years old. All of my friends were doing it, so I did as well. I do not remember it. And it did not change my life. Growing up, I went to every youth event, mission trip and church camp there was. I went for all the wrong reasons. I went to have fun and not to worship and grow in God’s word.
People do a lot of dumb things for happiness! I am one of them. I have been living a lie this whole time. I tried to impress people by being holy, but I wasn’t. God has been tugging at my heart for months now. I thought it was just to rededicate my life, which I had done. But what he wanted was for me to come home—get saved and become a child of His. He put my stomach in knots today, and my heart was pounding out of my chest. I could not put it off any longer. Today, I asked Jesus in my heart and got saved!
He loves me and wants me to be happy—and I can through him! I was going about it all in the wrong way. Today that lady who had been bleeding for 12 years and been unclean, touched His clothes and the bleeding stopped. She confessed and it stopped!!! Today I confessed my sins and asked Jesus into my heart. I know he loves me and died on the cross for me. He can make things better for me! I can’t believe it took me 25 years to realized He is the only way! I don’t have to fake happiness anymore. I can truly be happy because God is in my life for real this time and not for show! I want to get baptized and make it public that I am saved and a new woman. I want everyone to know that Jesus is in my life and I was lost but now I am found.”
