Before I received eternal life I was very cynical about everything! I believed that anything I or anyone else did was pointless and therefore it was useless to be involved with anything. My view and experience of life left me feeling empty.

I spent my time trying to fill the void in my life with meaningless relationships, drugs, alcohol and material possessions.

My life was empty and meaningless and no matter what I did to fill it the emptiness only grew. The pattern of my life would go something like this; I would find a new attraction (eg: girl, hobby, drug or place) and that would distract or entertain me for awhile but sooner or later the new experience wasn't new anymore and my emptiness would be in focus again.

Then, I received eternal life and the emptiness I had always felt was gone. There's no other way to explain it. One day it was there and the next gone.

Ever since I received eternal life I've enjoyed an overwhelming sense of fulfilment and self-worth. My life is full of meaningful relationships and endeavours.

Now that I have eternal life I no longer spend my life in the pursuit of my next distraction simply because I'm not trying to avoid my life anymore. The result is that the life I now have is worth living and I am content and satisfied to live it just the way it is.

Having the solid foundation of knowing for certain that when I die I will go to heaven has given me the assurance in life to face anything.
