Carlton and Jenny

I grew up in church. I have very Godly parents who took their children to church all the time. At a young age I made a profession of faith. Like Carlton, I was sincere in that profession but there was no working of the Holy Spirit. From that time on I had many questions in my heart about the experience. I can remember specific times of real doubt and confusion about whether I was truly converted or not.

A couple of years ago the Holy Spirit really began to convict me of my lostness before God and I found myself in a huge mental battle. On one side I had my intellect telling me that I had done everything that needed to be done to be saved and on the other side I had a Holy God revealing to me that I was lost.

After a huge struggle I finally came to the end of myself and told the Lord that there was nothing I could do be saved and asked him to do it. In that moment I felt a peace like I had never felt before and I knew that the Lord had come into my life.

What a joy it is to serve such a wonderful Savior!
