Hi Pickles,
Isn't there a difference between knowing Jesus and committing yourself to Jesus?
I knew Jesus as a little child as well. However, I committed myself to Him and surrendered my will to His when I was 19. So what, according to you, must I mention in the "when saved" section?
Thanks for your views.
The amazing thing is I remember telling Jesus I loved Him and would look for Him always.
There are prayers I made up at age two and older, my mom wrote them down for me.
I remember talking to Jesus about eating ants, asking why they tasted sour.
I used to practise looking at the sun, because if I could look at the sun, then I would be able to see God, even though His light was so blinding.
When my father beat me at age three, I remember Jesus telling me to forgive him, and that it was not my fault, I told Jesus then that I was willing to die for Him, because I saw this was the biggest gift I could give Him.
Because, I knew He gave His life for me.
I asked Jesus every night to give me a hug and kiss good night, because there was no one who could.
I also asked Jesus to take me home with Him.
I know that what I gave of myself to Jesus was not like a full on acceptance of one who did not know Him and is then saved.
But I did give to Jesus all I was and would be when very young, then as I grew, and knew more, gave that as well.
The question is, is this about the mesure of what one gives? Or simply that one gives what they know?
One has to wonder what Jesus would say?
Jesus did say, let the children come to me.
I guess the question one needs to ask ?, is why does it matter when one come to Jesus?
For what matters is that they do!
God bless
