Finding Jesus Christ was something I had never experienced in my life. Before I found Him, I was lost. My life was a downward spiral of a drunken father, and an overprotective mother who loved me very much. In a world where you look around and see nothing but hate and sometimes a bit of joy. A world where you are judged by how you look and not how you act. Its sad how one day the world will be gone, but a new world will usher in happiness for 1000 years as a reward for those who have done good and for those who are the true followers of Christ.
Before I found Christ, I was some what of a kid with the "gothic" look. I was sporting a total black apparel from head to toe, chains n' all. My hair was long and my attitude was nothing short of a "I don't care, f**k off." Looking around seeing people make fun of me almost everyday. A world where I questioned God and wondered... "Why are you doing this to me?" It would only be until one day, I was alone one night crying, saying: "Jesus Christ, I accept you into my heart now and forever." "I will follow your will and live by your will."
The next week, my whole life turned around. I went outside and I saw the most glorious view. I saw nature for its beauty. I saw how beautiful the trees, the freshly cut grass, and the sky. It was as if I was seeing things in the light of Christ. Of course it was a reality I had never experienced and it seemed so unreal. I soon learned more as I accepted Christ into my heart each day. Learning that you shouldn't take things you have for granted, you should be happy for what you have.
Each day as I look at the clouds, I feel as if it is very surreal. I feel as if I am seeing Heaven. Ever since converting from my Catholic Faith to Christian, I feel like I have more of connection with Christ then I ever have. I have 3 friends that are of the Christian Faith. When I talked to them about their views on Christ and how they feel about him, they seem to have not gone through the same proccess as me. They have been longer Christians then I have, yet they have not felt or cried the way I have for the Lord and Jesus Christ.
Realizing what Christ has done for everyone else and I, makes me cry and joy. Even when I go to church I feel like crying just thinking or hearing about what Christ has done for us. I feel a very very great connection with Christ. Not many people that I have spoken to feel this way. Even my Christian friends. I also feel as if the end times are here as well. I just have this sense that its coming. I have never met a person(s) that feel the same way about life and Jesus Christ as I do.
Life is the most important thing in this world. Over time, I've learned to appreciate life more and more. I appreciate that I am on this Earth and I know what the meaning of life is. Some people never will find the answer through science. But the answer can be found in your heart as I have found. Live a good life, follow Christ, and do good. That is what life is about for me. And after you have lived your life like that, you will be rewarded by being able to live with God in the Kingdom of Heaven.
I have more of a connection with nature then human nature. I love animals and the world around me. But I do not like what man has made on this Earth. A world of hate, violence, judgement, pollution, corruption, and even religion. I'm sure God is very upset with man and when the time comes for the world to end, those who do not follow Christ and have done nothing good in this world, will die. After all is said and done, the world will finally be the "New Heaven" for all that did good on this Earth and are the true followers of Jesus Christ.
Some may believe it, and some may not. Theres always a feeling that there is a "greater being" out there. And there most certainly is. I know He is watching, and I know He wants me to do my best. If you do good things, you will be rewarded. I have a job that requires me to work long and hard for 2 weeks before I get my paycheck. Once I get it, I know its God's way of saying: "You have worked hard for what you really want, here is your reward."
Working hard for what you want, and what you believe in is the right thing. Working hard teaches responsibility, and respect. And when God sees that, He rewards you. At the end of the day, when I get that paycheck I remember how hard I worked during the 2 weeks just to get it. Its a sense of accomplishment and higher achievement. God puts you through tests everyday. And if it means you have to deal with someone making fun of you, you get into a fight, or anything like that, you need to understand that God is testing your faith and your bravery against evil.
God wants to see if your a strong person in His eyes. Battling a drug addiction, or family problems is a test from God. God isn't doing it to be mean, Hes trying to teach you a lesson. And once you learn that lesson, you become a stronger person. Through finding Christ, I have changed my ways. I cut my hair, changed my clothes, and stopped caring what people said or thought about me. I played along, laughed at myself, and enjoyed life. And for that, I was rewarded with friends and understandment.
Today, when I look back on what I was 2 years ago; a teen who was on the verge of committing suicide, going to a mental hospital, facing a drunken father and an overprotective mother, I realized that I have been through a lot. Going through all of that and surviving it and passing God's test makes me so happy. Knowing that I still have even harder tests in front of me, makes me want to work just as hard to pass them. Because when I get past those tests, I will be even stronger of a person then I was when I first became a Christian. Even if I cant see Him, hear him, or physically touch him, I know Hes there. I know Hes protecting me from the devil and I know He loves me no matter what. God gave me life, a family, friends. Jesus Christ died for my sins so that I may one day live with Him and God in the Kingdom of Heaven. I can never give God and Jesus Christ any money or material goods. But what I can give Them is my love, trust, and soul forever. And that is my key to the gates of Heaven and Their heart.
