I grew up knowing about God, my family told me all about Him. I invited Jesus into my heart when I was 4 or 5, I think I did it because I knew that He loved me so much that I wanted to love Him back. As I grew older, I started to get worried about a lot of things. One time when I was feeling nervous, my mom told me that I could give all my worries to God. I decided to try that, and when I did, I felt way less nervous. Since then, every time I’ve felt nervous or worried, I pray. When I heard about baptism, it felt like something God was encouraging me towards, and I felt ready to do it. Right now, I think God is teaching me how to be kind and how to be less selfish and more grateful for what I have. I want to help more people find Jesus and love Him.
