Jesus has given me what I was looking for by being able to trust him in everything.

The turning point was when I realized God wanted a relationship so badly with me that he made a sacrifice of his own Son to make that possible. Through His grace I was saved, all I had to do was believe in and accept His gift of salvation.

I was saved by a merciful God, through the work of Jesus, and I didn’t have to do anything to earn it. The world was no longer on my shoulders. I was free.

I remember opening a Bible for the first time in maybe 20 years. It was the first time in my life I felt the gospel click and I knew Jesus was the only one who could save me from my sin and despair, and give me true hope and purpose. This truth is found in Romans 5:8 “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

The gospel felt so sweet when I finally trusted and knew that there was nothing I could do to save myself. It is not about obeying the rules, achieving the most, or being the kindest person; the reality is, the only saving grace we have is Jesus.

God worked on me that week, He touched my heart. He convicted me, I needed Him! One evening as they offered the opportunity to accept Christ I did. It was extremely powerful and I will never forget the overwhelming peace I felt, it changed my life.

I picked up my Bible looking for something that would help me see if there was any hope for me. This is what Jesus gave me. Isaiah 1:18 says, “Come now and let us reason together, says the Lord, Though your sins are like scarlet They shall be white as snow; Though they are red as crimson, they shall be as wool.”

I saw Jesus work through the people directly affected by the tragedy and saw how he brought peace through a difficult time and that led me to fully trust him and that he is in control of all situations.

I continued to attend church because of the feelings of hope and love that I felt in my soul through the music, but as I continued to attend, I also learned to put my faith in Christ rather than in myself. Once I put my faith in Jesus my life changed.

My identity is in Jesus. I no longer try to measure up my worth by my career or achievements. When hardships come, I try to suffer well, running towards God vs away from Him. I can still have joy when the world is in the chaos of sin. I rest in knowing I have a protector and provider. I do not need to do it alone. I can bring anything to Him and He will not turn me away. I trust in His plan for me.
