Thank You Jesus for Finding and Saving Me

“Thank You, Jesus, for finding me when I was spiritually lost, loving me when I was undeserving, and saving me through Your grace. My life is a testimony.”

At sixteen years old, I heard the true story of John 3:16. For God so loved Karen, that He gave His only Son, that if I believe in Jesus, I will not perish but have eternal life.

And my life was forever changed.

My name is Karen Friday and this is my redemption story. I was lost, now I’m found. I was blind, but now I see. Jesus rescued me from myself, other gods, sin, spiritual death, and the enemy.

The blood of Christ covers me. God saved me. I’m redeemed. The heavenly Father gave me eternal and everlasting life. I’m a new creation. I walk in freedom and victory over the power of darkness.

Abundant life is mine. Jesus is mine. The Holy Spirit lives in me. There’s an empty tomb and a risen Savior center stage in my story. Because God is alive and well, it is well with my soul.

Lost Until Jesus Found Me: Thank You Jesus

Before Christ entered my life, I was searching for purpose, peace, and fulfillment in places that could never satisfy. Like a sheep that wandered away from the shepherd, I was spiritually lost and unable to find my own way back.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” John 10:27-28 (NIV)

Jesus Came Looking for Me

The beautiful truth of the gospel is that Jesus did not wait for me to find Him. He pursued me with His love, mercy, and grace. Even when I ignored Him or went my own way, He continued calling me to Himself.

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10 (ESV)
