- About the Author
I didnt think I could go on. I loved him so much and he was a wonderful father to our son. I dont know when Ive ever felt so alone . . . but then a wonderful thing happened. I remembered a Bible verse that said God would never leave me nor forsake me. I remembered that my husband was with the Lord and that the Lord still loved Rigg and me.
But Joey, I want you to listen to me very carefully. I wouldnt have known that about the Lord if I hadnt made a decision to trust Him for my salvation when I was young. When I was about your age, I understood that I needed a Savior. Without my believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins, I would go to hell. I didnt want to go to hell, Joey, I wanted to live forever with God.
I was sick with grief right after my husband died but God reminded me of His love and that changed everything inside of me. I was no longer afraid or believed Id been deserted. I knew that God loved me and died for me and that meant there was nothing more to fear. Not being alone, not dying, nothing.
Joey, do you have that peace, that special quiet inside of you because you know God is your Savior? Have you faced God and confessed your need for a Savior?
There were tears puddling in Joeys eyes as he shook his head no. She went on to ask him if he wanted to pray right at the table. He then voiced his second fear.
But what if Pa never believes in Jesus?
Oh, honey, I cant promise you that he will. But I do know that you are not responsible for your father. When you stand before God, Hes not going to say to you, Joey, why didnt you save your father? Only God can take care of that and right now the best thing you can do for your father is to trust God yourself.
God died for your father too, and he might see the change in you and want that change for himself. But even if that doesnt happen
Id still be Gods child, Joey broke in and May nodded, her own eyes beginning to fill.
The people in the room watched in awe as Joey looked up at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. His voice was clear and without hesitation as he spoke to God.
I know Youre up there. Ive known it for a long time. Im ready now to be Yours, if You still want me. Im ready for You to take away my sins and live in my heart.
