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 ilikuwa ya kutisha kwangu,14 pia ilikuwa ya ajabu kujua kwamba MUNGU alikuwa halisi na yu hai na kila kitu ambacho manabii na mitume walisema YEYE alikuwa. HABADILIKA hata kidogo tangu siku ALIPOumba mbingu, nchi na vyote vilivyomo. 15 Nilijua mara moja kwamba siku zote ningemwogopa, kustaajabia, kumheshimu, kumpenda, na kumtumikia YEYE. Nilijua ningekuwa tayari zaidi kuishi, kuteswa, na kufa kwa ajili YAKE, na kufanya hivyo kwa furaha, kwa furaha yote. 16
