What's My Story
No Longer Paranoid
lilbean994
I would cut myself to draw attention, I dressed outrageously, and I tended to alienate myself from everyone around me. I was paranoid that everyone was talking about me, and I became more and more lonely as I entered adulthood.
Then I received God's gift of eternal life and my life was radically transformed into a life I would never imagine for myself.
Now that I have eternal life, I love being with people and serving others. My paranoia is completely gone, I have wonderful friends, and I am so excited to get up every morning and start my day.
A few years after receiving eternal life, I was struck with a serious illness. Although I could have given up hope in God and retreated back into a dark, negative way of thinking, I trusted that God was in control. I started praying with my father, who up until that time, wasn't really sure if there was a God. Not only did he receive the gift of eternal life at this time, but our prayers together brought about a healing in my body.
I'm so happy to have the love and support of good friends, and to love life as God wants me to. But even if I had not recovered, and I were to die today, I know that I would be with God forever in Heaven.
