When I heard that Jesus was inviting me to follow him, I responded to His call
with a resounding YES! I told the Lord that I am His, and that I will give Him
all my weaknesses, failures, and all my sins. I confessed that I am powerless to
change my heart and my life, but with Him, nothing is impossible. Jesus whispered
in my heart that I am His, and that He loves me and cares for me deeply. He had
promised that He will change me and use me for His purpose and will.
Jesus came to forgive, to heal, to redeem and to use us as His instruments of
His love. In this redemptive process, Jesus enables us, with the help of the Holy
Spirit, to grow in love with Him and to be a new creation. This is the prime
motive in responding to His call.
