Now that Colonel Sanders was a successful business man, you’d think he’d be satisfied. But something inside him still yearned for more.
The Colonel started attending church, and befriended a pastor by the name of Waymon Rodgers. At one service, Waymon knelt down next to the Colonel, asking if he’d like to be born again.
“I really would. Do you think that Jesus could save me to the point where he would take away my cussing?” the Colonel tearfully replied.
The man was known for having a pretty foul mouth. But something special was happening that night.
“Colonel, God is going to save you tonight and you'll never cuss again,” Pastor Waymon told him.
And in that moment, Colonel Sanders accepted Jesus into his heart. He’d finally found the fulfillment he’d been seeking his whole life.
A few days later, he told the Pastor how everything had changed.
"Since I prayed the sinner's prayer, things have completely changed in my life,” he said to Waymon Rodgers. “I have not cussed even one time since then. It has really made a difference with me.”
