Knowing Christ

    My first definite experience of Christ was with Christians on Campus. Growing up, I went to church, but I didn't know the Lord that well. It wasn't until my sophomore year at U. T. that I definitely met the Lord. That semester, I received a gospel tract from Christians on Campus. I had a difficult time throwing that piece of paper away because I felt that the Lord was speaking to me through that tract. A few weeks later, I was invited to go to one of their Christian meetings. At first, I felt uneasy with the new environment, but when we started to sing hymns to the Lord, my heart melted. I began to look around the room and I saw that everyone was so happy. I had the deep sensation that I had finally found what I had been looking for. When we broke up into small groups after the singing, I asked the people in my small group, “What is it that you all have? Why are you all so happy?” That night I prayed with that group to receive the Lord. That night I definitely met the Lord. Since then I have been helped to know the Lord daily, both personally and with others. I am forever grateful to the Lord for His mercy and grace that I would know Him and love Him. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
