Why did you become a Christian?

[RedTulipMom]

I made a mess of my life. i got involved in drugs and alcohol and promiscuous relationships. i was miserable. i couldn't stand myself or my life any longer and i reached out to God and said "take this all away". i asked God "show me the truth of you you are and i will follow you" and lastly i said "Jesus if your real, i surrender it all to you and ask you forgiveness for my life of sin, please forgive me and come live in my heart." And he did..and it hasnt been the same since. He convicted me through his word. i started WANTING to read my bible and understanding it. I started enjoying prayer and going to church. Slowly things changed and now here i am 17 yrs later and not even a slight resemblance of the person i was once, but everything didnt happen overnight, though for some it does. I prayed for FAITH and i prayed that DOUBT would be taken from me. It hasnt been a bowl of cherries, after all the Cross was suffering and we partake in it with Jesus, but its worth it.
Give your life to God...you'll never regret it.
