God Bless Billy Graham

Dear Friend,
During Billy Graham's life on earth, he shared the message of God's redeeming love for each & every one of us.

Again and again, Billy would give listeners the instruction to "invite Jesus into your heart" and lead them in a simple prayer of asking God for forgiveness and accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. 

I never met Billy Graham in person, but I remember vividly the night I had unexpectedly changed the television channel and come across the last minutes of one of his large stadium-full crusades.

     I remember listening to Billy's voice and inviting Jesus in.  I remember praying.  I really didn't understand what it all meant, but I felt this deep desire for help and hoped that this might help me. I repeated the words Billy shared, yet a part of me held back a little.

Until the day came when I knew that I no longer wanted to be like the foolish person in the parable, the one who had built a house on shifting sand.  I wanted a firm foundation.   I was ready for a new life. 

Billy Graham had helped me take that first step of inviting Jesus into my heart  and now I felt the power of the Lord's calling on my life.   Like an aspiring knight, I dropped to my knees.  I surrendered  my life to Christ and received Him as my Lord and Savior. 

I am beyond grateful for God's divine mercy & grace and Billy Graham's role in leading me to Jesus, who never forces his way in but always waits  for your invitation.  Have you invited Him in ?    I would love to hear your story.
