Jorge and Jillian had been married for five years when they asked Jesus Christ to forgive their sins and reside in their hearts.
The couple were baptized the following Sunday. They loved the Lord, and they wanted their lives to please Him. But they realized that there was room for continued improvement in their walk with God.
Jorge observed that he still had a problem with lying. Looking in her spiritual mirror, Jillian realized that pride was still trying to raise her ugly head.
The couple prayed about their problem and came up with the solution. “We’ve asked Jesus Christ to come into our hearts,” Jillian said. “But we’re doing some things that don’t honor Him as the Lord of our lives.”
“You’re right, Honey,” Jorge said. “Jesus is our savior, but we need His help in certain areas. We need for Him to be the King of our Hearts.”
“Wow!,” exclaimed Jillian. “Another of those ‘bright idea’ light bulbs just turned on inside my brain!”
Jillian was known throughout the community for her “bright ideas,” some of which were a little dimmer than others.
“What’s your idea?,” Jorge asked.
“Let’s have a ceremony to officially make Jesus the King of our Hearts,” Jillian said. “We’ll ask the pastor to officiate, sort of like a wedding ceremony, and invite a few friends. It will also give us an opportunity to share our faith with some friends who aren’t Christians.”
The couple made a list of everyone that they wanted to invite to the ceremony. Before long, they realized that their home would not hold the large number of people. Jorge asked their church’s minister, Pastor Jackison, if the ceremony could be held in the mega-church’s fellowhip hall. They asked him if he would write special vows that they could recite to the Lord.
The couple felt their “Day of Commitment” would be one of the most well- attended events in the town’s history. Jillian submitted a news release to the local newspaper, inviting the entire community. Nearly 1,000 people showed up for the special event.
Jorge and Jillian recited their vows, each promising to worship and obey Jesus Christ as the Lord of their lives in every way. “I promise not to lie again,” said Jorge.
“And I won’t be prideful anymore,” said Jillian.
After the closing prayer, Pastor Jackison invited attendees to stay for refreshments. Everyone stopped by to congratulate Jorge and Jillian for taking such a courageous stand for the Lord.
One of their friends, Jorg E. Anna, said, “It’s great that you decided to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life. But I was just wondering why you had such a big get together with refreshments and everything.”
Jorge responded, “The reason is simple. As Pastor Jackison has taught us for the last five years. Anything worth doing is worth doing right!”
