Before Jesus Changed My Life

Before I accepted Jesus into my life, I was full of addictions, and lonely even though I had people in my life, and I couldn’t understand what the point of my life was. Everything seemed so meaningless. My sins and lack of understanding had me digging myself into a hole that eventually felt too deep to get out of.

How Jesus Changed My Life

It’s funny because I was baptized as a baby and always knew of God and even prayed when times were tough, but I never took Jesus Christ seriously until life brought me to a season of isolation and got to the point that I had to search for God for myself. I called upon Jesus one night in a prayer at my lowest point, I accepted him as my Lord and Savior in this prayer, it brought me instant peace that I cannot explain a moment I will never forget. I have had dreams and things that have happened since that night that are undeniable. Times I’ve felt so close to God it’s like we were touching shoulders.

My Life After Jesus Saved Me

Since I accepted God for who he really is, my life has done a complete 180, I know what Jesus meant when he talked about being born again in John 3. A vision of a brown-haired girl who talked to me like I already knew her and gave me a hug that lit my heart up at my loneliest point. A little time went on, and I reunited with my friend Taylor from high school and our friendship picked up like it never left, and now she is my fiancé. I have given up many bad habits not because I feel like I have to in order to be close to God but because of the transformation that God has made take place in my life. He made sure I understood who I was and what I really needed in life when I was at my lowest so that I will never take for granted the blessings he has been giving me.
