A Sheep is Found

Dear Editor:

Our God is gracious and all knowing. God’s Holy Spirit is ever present to draw people to a saying knowledge of Christ the Savior.

On a Saturday, my wife and I had a yard sale. At this time a young woman came and was looking through books for sale. I said these are all Christian reading. Are you a Christian? No, she replied but I went to church last week. My son is 12 and I need to find a church but don’t know where. I said, there are a lot of good churches in our area. Find one that teaches the word of God and the new birth and born again into God’s family believing Christ died and rose again as a penalty for our sins and forgiving and cleansing us, giving us right standing to make Heaven our home. She said I really don’t understand, so I quoted scripture to be born again and asked would she pray a sinner’s prayer with me? Yes, she said I will. I called my wife and asked her to pray with us.

As the young woman prayed, the Holy Spirit was strong. There in a yard full of people around us we held hands and she asked Jesus to come into her heart. A new name was written down in the Book of Life. Thank you Jesus.
