"I WAS saved on the 1St of January―New Year's day. I had been very unhappy during the forenoon. It was not a happy New Year to me. I knew that I was not saved, and if I did not trust Jesus at once, I might not have another opportunity, as the Lord might come at any moment and receive from the world
His own. I believed that Jesus had died for sinners like me, and I knew that I had only to believe on Him to receive everlasting life.
Still I did not feel that I was saved, and could not say it. At mid-day Mr.― asked me if I had trusted Jesus yet. I said, No. He said if I trusted Him now I would never regret it, and that it would be a very happy New Year's day for me if I would trust in Jesus, give my heart to Him. About seven o'clock in the evening, when I was alone, I felt that I could not put it off deciding any longer, so I knelt down by a chair, and gave myself to Jesus. Since I trusted Jesus I have never had cause to regret it, and never will. I am happy, for I know that Jesus is mine. The Lord may come at any time now, but I am not afraid; for I know 'whom I have believed,' and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." BELLA.
This is the true way of securing a happy New Year, a happy life, and a happy eternity. In Christ alone there is true joy and happiness.
