What's My Story
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Tammy
Before I had a relationship with Jesus, I was looking for love from men, material things, relationships, and personal achievements.
I was only satisfied temporarily by these things. I did things that were not pleasing to God to find that love and acceptance.
Then I discovered that true love and acceptance comes only from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the only thing that has filled that empty void that I had in my heart. This love and acceptance is not temporary. It is forever.
From that moment on I realized that I am accepted and loved without having to please others. I am accepted and loved unconditionally by Jesus Christ and He sent me other Christian friends who accept me for who I am.
I no longer felt the need to go to clubs and drink alcohol or the need to have a boyfriend or husband to be complete. I no longer had the desire to drink or to go to the casinos. I found what I needed. I found contentment and peace in the arms of Jesus, not in the arms of a man, or in a mixed drink, or in trying to please others.
I know that if I were to die today, I would go to heaven. I have that assurance that only comes from Christ.
