Although it was terrifying to me,14 it was also wonderful to know that GOD was real and alive and everything the prophets and apostles said HE was. HE hasn’t changed at all from the days that HE created the heavens, the earth, and all that is in them. 15 I knew immediately that I would always fear, admire, respect, love, and serve HIM. I knew I would be more than willing to live, be persecuted, and die for HIM, and do it cheerfully, with all joy. 16
Ingawa lilikuwa jambo la kuniogofya,14 pia lilikuwa jambo la ajabu na la kustaajabisha kujua kwamba, kwa hakika Mungu yupo na anaishi na kila kitu walichosema manabii na mitume kumhusu yeye ni kweli. Hajabadilika kamwe tangu siku alipoumba mbingu, dunia na vyote vilivyomo.15 Kwa haraka nilijua kwamba, daima nitamhofia, nitamhusudu, nitamheshimu, nitampenda na kumtumikia.
