Since young, I was brought up to be somebody through achievement in school, opinions being heard of among friends and families.
Before I had eternal life, my life revolves around doing well in school and gaining respect among people I know.
However whenever I reached a goal, I'm left feeling empty and waiting for the next goal to be achieved before I feel fulfilled again.
Before I receive eternal life, I was afraid of death and punishment. In my culture and beliefs, my grandma always told me that people who lie and disobey will go to the 18 hades of hell and have their tongues cut ou. I was afraid cause I always have to lie when I don't do well for tests in school.
Then, I received eternal life.
From that moment on, I felt the peace in my heart that was so lacking all these while. I felt that I dun have to look for approval in other people's eyes. Cause I have already experienced the grace from God and His Love by Jesus, God's son dying on the cross.
Now I live my life knowing that I am being loved by the almighty God
When I die, I look forward to going to Heaven and being with God forever.
