My Testimony

Posted in Christianity at 10:34 am by video777

Do you ever wonder who you are, what you’re doing here, or where you’re going? Do you sometimes feel like nobody loves you or cares about you? Please take a few minutes to read this, it could change your life!!!

Allow me to share with you what took place in my life. My parents got a divorce when I was 15. I decided to start drinking and smoking pot. It wasn’t long before I drank and did drugs every day. My dad kicked me out of my house two weeks after my 17th birthday (It was also the day after Christmas). I joined the Army. By the time I got out of the Army I was doing acid, coke, valiums, hash, etc. People thought of me as an airhead. I was into partying and listening to heavy metal music. I was filled with bitterness and self-pity. I felt like no one cared about me and I didn’t see a very bright future. I had heard about Jesus all my life and one day I promised Him that I would never do drugs again if He would only help me. He did and I have been clean for nearly 22 years as of this writing. I feel loved now and have a peace that passes all human understanding.

Since that time God has healed my mind. I graduated from a 4-year college Suma Cum Laude with nearly straight A’s. God called me into the ministry and I was a youth pastor at an Assemblies of God church for several years. I am now a Network Administrator at the place I work and volunteer my time at my church. I have a nice home, a wonderful wife, and two kids that I love very much.

The fact is that God loves you and cares about you. He loves you so much that 2,000 years ago He sent His only Son, Jesus, to come to this earth and die for the sins of the world. All He asks is that you turn from your sins and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. You can have the assurance that you will spend eternity in Heaven if you do this.

Many people in this world want to tell you that there is a different way but Jesus says, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him” (John 14:6,7).

The Bible also says, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).

You may be pursuing riches, a career or some other goal, but what will it get you if you were to gain everything in the whole world but lose your own soul? (See Mark 8:36).

There’s so much more I could tell you but I’ll close with this: If God did this for someone like me, think of what He can do for you. God really does love you!!!
