Me Myself and I





I was very independant, I thought that I was in control of my life.  I thought I was a christian and I tried to be good, but I was just acting worse every year.  I began to find that I was using my job and things that I could buy to keep me busy to try to fill the emptiness in my life.











I would work very hard to earn money and get praise for doing a good job and I would buy video games to keep me occupied when I got home. I didn't care about other people, I just wanted to do good for myself.  I did what I wanted, but I had alot of anger and anxiety building up inside.








Then I discovered true life value in a relationship with Jesus.  I went to church because I did believe in God, but I never really gave my life over to him.  This time I actually enjoyed the church I went to.. unlike before.  That is important, all churches are not alive.  I was still doing the same things I used to do and living life as I saw fit but in time as I really surrendered  my heart to him, then I began to see positive changes in my life.







I realized that Jesus is the anchor in my life and that His perfect love will never change.






Now that I have a real relationship with Jesus, I enjoy spending time with others and the loving, kind freindships he has put in my life.   I have learned to cast my cares upon him whenever something is bothering me.  It gives me a feeling of peace to know that the Lord, who wants good things for me is in control of my life. 











The best part is that I know I will spend eternity in Heaven where there is no more sadness, but instead, the love of a heavenly father who will wipe every tear from our eyes.
