Three years ago I lived in the dark. I had no hope of life. No peace of mind. No joy in my heart. Sure, I'd heard about this Jesus. But I didn't care what they said. I lived how I wanted. I did what I could get by with. Then, something changed. I saw the zest in these people's eyes. They called themselves "Christians". I saw them reach out for their God. They loved their God. I could see it. I was not in the light, but I was near the light. And I wanted it. I had to know how to get it. They said that I only had to believe in my heart that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and accept Him as my LORD and savior. On February 8th of 2006, I did just that. Now I am in the Light. I know the Light. And I live for the Light. I have a joy that no one outside of Christ can understand. I strive, not to be like everyone else, but to be like Jesus. By no means am I perfect. But by His grace, my sins are forgiven. And one day I will spend eternity with Him.
