A Prayerful Song For You, From Someone Who Cares

My testimony
I spent 54 years on the fence trying to decide which side I wanted to be on, which led to 54 years of confusion, chaos, hatred, anger, and so on, (Long story). On March 26th 2006 I reached the end of my rope. I was totally broken to the point I lost the will to live. Fortunately I didn't have it in me to end my life. Instead I did the only thing I could think of , which was to drop to my knees and yell at God, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" Immediately three of the simplest words in the English language popped up in my head that literally blew my mind, "All of you." For the first time in my life Jesus actually communicated with me to where I had absolutely no doubt those words came from Him. Instantly I totally understood what He meant. I had claimed all those years on and off that I was a Christian when in reality I was not, because there were certain things I didn't give up which was not compatible with the Christian lifestyle. So I surrendered my life 100% to Jesus and made a commitment to hang on to Him with everything I can, and to never, ever let go, and do my best. Best move I ever made!!

Now I didn't suddenly become perfect by any stretch of the imagination and never will be. With our stubborn rebellious nature it's impossible for any one of us. But over the last 19 years since, having Jesus in my life has changed me dramatically for the better. Anyone who knew me back then will testify to that fact. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a sinner and always will be, and I'm no better than anyone regardless of whether you're a believer or not. I struggle with the temptation to sin every single day and sometimes I do cave, I'm not gonna lie, but it's nothing compared to my sinful life before I became a born again Christian. I'll put it this way. The fact that I'm still breathing is an indisputable miracle! And all it took was stepping out in faith and placing my life in God's hands for the rest of my life. Now I'm not gonna tell you Christian life is easy; It's not. There are things in secular life you can not take with you into Christian life. And to be blunt and honest, secular life leads to being cast out into outer darkness completely separated from God and all your loved ones for all of eternity. Those that believe and try our best to live according to God's will instead of our own, the Christian life, will be rewarded by making it to the next world where there is zero physical, mental, and emotional pain and suffering and where we'll be able to spend our lives with God and our loved ones who also made it, for all eternity! There is no hope in the secular world!

If you're on the fence as I was, all you have to do is sincerely reach out to Jesus, and He will reveal Himself to you in some way, cause believe me, it's true when they say God works in mysterious ways. You have absolutely nothing to lose but much to gain, your choice. If you have any questions either post it in the comments or a private message. Whatever you're comfortable with. God Bless, and take care!
