Steps Toward Faith

At middle school or junior high age I read the classic book "What Would Jesus Do?" by Charles Sheldon. That influenced me to think about the standards of Christian living. Later, I received more teaching about the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives - helping us to live the Christian life. I especially responded to the idea that God had a plan for my life. I wrote a song in high school and sang it at a Youth for Christ ralley. My piano teacher helped me write the music. I was thrilled as I got a standing ovation after singing it. The words tell something of what was on my heart at about age 16.

"One day as I was out walking - a thought occurred to me; Perhaps the Lord up in Heaven is making plans for me. Maybe he's planning my every step - what I will do and say; Maybe he's planning some glorious things - if only I follow His way. Dear Lord, I call - I give You my all; please mold my life lest I fall. My vision is clear, and now I can see; I know that the Lord up in Heaven - is making plans for me."

Can you think of anything in your early years that led you step by step toward a closer relationship with the Lord
