A short story about some of the benefits of my new life with Jesus

I am glad that I have received eternal life, because me as a person and my life are no longer a pointless and meaningless fixed-term existence, which will totally end when I die.

I was much more insecure about myself and sought a sense of appreciation by seeking admiration from the opposite sex. I was intrigued by almost anyone who showed or whom I thought to show any interest in me. This was one visible way in which my low self-esteem and self-appreciation emerged and was always enslaving me with obsessive thoughts and harmful behavior. This was subconscious and really enslaving, and I couldn’t do anything about it. During and after the start of the new life in Christ, this obsession is practically over (after a hard fight), as self-esteem no longer comes from how interested the other sex is in me.

I always know that God loves and appreciates me, even while He is the One who truly knows all my dirty and ugly features and the past, and He helps me to get clean and healed from them. He was so merciful to me even at the time when I didn’t want anything to do with Him and did ugly things, and He still kept me from big harm and gave me so loving and beautiful husband, that I couldn’t ever deserve. God is the perfect Dad, Companion, Friend, Guide, King and Master, and He gave me much better sense of my worth, even given the sinful nature. He is my Liberator. My life is no longer meaningless and doomed to extinction, and I don’t have to look for acceptation and appreciation from men. The road to complete restoration goes on, but it’s getting brighter and brighter all the time.
