| by Berenice Johnson Santa Rosa Bible Church Santa Rosa, CA
I became a Christian in 1955. I knew I was a
sinner, but somehow I also felt that God accepted me when no one
else ever really had. Having read an account of the physical
agony of crucifixion by Jim Bishop, and moved to tears and
feeling I owed it to Him to find out why, I attended church.
When the minister called, my questions remained unanswered.
Afterwards, when I was alone, I was suddenly filled with joy and I
knew Christ was who He said He was, and that if I studied the Bible
I would understand Him better. I am so very grateful to the Son for being willing to endure separation from the Father and the Holy Spirit that the Father might always be there for me. I’ve understood more and more the cost to Him. And I can’t express my gratitude and wonder that this great, awesome God of the universe accepts me for who I am, not for what I can do or be. I was worth a Son! With all my heart I want to please Him and glorify Him in my life."

Berenice listened to the
Acceptance Seminar tape
series. Her comments: "Things happened to me as I grew
up that made me keep my feelings about anything important to myself
and be a loner. I had no close friends; no one seemed to think
I was worth anything. I had no confidence in how I looked to
others. It was the most amazing thing to me when my first
husband wanted to marry me.
