Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Hi, my name is Norah. I am 8 years old and have one sister. I was born in Texas and am in the third grade. I love my friends and family, reading, and Jesus.

Before I trusted Jesus, I did not feel quite right. I made some bad choices, and also felt scared, lost, and alone sometimes – especially during surgeries or hard doctor’s appointments.

My mom and dad have always taught me about Jesus, and comforted me during my surgeries. When they prayed with me, I felt more peace. I know that Jesus forgave us and died for our sins so that we didn’t have to, and so we could be with Him forever. This year, I got bullied at school and I felt really scared, lost, and sad. One night, I made the decision that I wanted Jesus in my heart because I know He was with me during my surgeries and when I got bullied – He makes me feel happy, comforted, and not alone. Just like Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” God will now always be with me and I know He has a plan for my life.

I have been more kind, patient, and more thankful for everything since trusting Jesus. My mom says I have been more loving with my sister, and I think its because it has been easier to see when I have done something wrong. Jesus is still helping me be with Him more and as I am with Him more, I feel good.

Because I have accepted Jesus into my heart, because I love Him, and because He washed us clean of our sins and I want everyone to know that I want Him to be a part of my life.
