My first Love was Jesus....I remember the day I was saved. I was at Fort Caswell for a church retreat during the summer. I remember feeling the spirit. I remember singing Awesome God for the first time and I remember the feeling that I was loved by someone/something that I couldn't explain. I had never met Jesus, but I KNEW he loved me and that I loved Him. A love that went beyond the stories from Sunday School. The Bible verses became so clear. I understood the love they were talking about in Matthew. I finally "got it". I must have been about 10 or 11 years old. I don't recall exact dates.But I do know that summer changed my life...forever. And if you have never felt that kind of love, you are missing out on something truly AMAZING!
This is the Cross At Fort Caswell. It has been there for as long as I can remember. I know all my burdens were laid at that cross 20+ years ago and I am sure I am not the only one.
