Christ and my path.

[SavedFromChrist91]

I don't really know where to start, But I'm assured in the Lord that he's going to guide me through this testimonial.

It's crazy where I've ended up from how I was raised, I was born to a Jewish dad, and a Catholic mother, my mother lost her belief in Christ through dating my father and my father was a Jew who was turned Atheist and would blaspheme God saying he does not exist. I grew up hating the Lord, not believing his work, and living a life where I always had to be correct.

I cursed like a sailor, I would do drugs, cigarettes since 13, and drinking since 15, I started having sex at 18, I got kicked out of my house multiple times, I dropped out of school, I became then addicted to painkillers, I lost family and loved ones.

I would continue to ask myself, what is the point of life, why am I here, what will my accomplishment get me. When I thought that to myself, It felt like a presence was around me, yet I was alone, It really felt like God was there telling me to know his son Jesus Christ and accept him and I will find truth.

I have to say that the moment I truly discovered Jesus Christ, Although I accepted him into my life, I didn't feel like I was really letting him work for me, I would still put abuse on myself and act under the same lifestyle I had, but as I went along, I felt moments where God was telling me "This is not the way to go, let me show you, you need to open the door more to me, so that I can fully enter your life and guide you". When I did this everything seemed to change.

I never feel the need to curse anymore, I have not been able to show violence, I drink one glass of alcohol every so often, but I never do it to get drunk anymore, I don't do anything of abuse to my body, I read the scriptures, and have him on my mind 24.7, and I don't find Church as something "boring and to do it for myself" as I now do it for Glory to God. It feels like when God is truly with you, no matter what you are doing or who you are talking with, God is always the first person on your mind. It's an amazing feeling because I don't put myself first anymore.

Thanks for reading my words, I can't thank the Lord enough, and I hope to make many friends who share the same feelings as me, whether around here or in my church.

If anything comes up in my life that I can add, I will be sure to add it, but for now God Bless and thank you for reading.

I like the way you understand English in your own way, you do make a point, but it is as though you are not trying to make a specific point.

If it was the Lord's will, I think you could easily become a strength to the Jews, as a representation of a new kind of nation (within Israel or not, but outside Israel would be harder).

Thank you for being such an encouragment, I appreciate it, you have inspired me.
