An Angry Heart

Before I received eternal life, I was filled with worry, extreme anger, overwhelming feelings of despair and depression. Id find myself crying uncontrollably and I didn't know why... Id have uncontrollable rage and resentment that felt like it was coming from deep down in my gut.

Due to my insecurities and "issues," I found myself eliminating everybody from my life. The minute I felt disappointment, id walk away and not look back. At first, it felt great... but after a while, the loneliness set in.

After attending Crossroads and listening to the messages, I felt a calm come over my heart. Everytime I walked out of those doors, I felt like I could conquer the world and I wanted to be a better person. The thought of eternal life drove me to be a better person everyday.

Now that I have eternal life, I know that im not alone in this world. I have a sense of support and love in my heart.

In October 2014, my father was diagnosed with Brain Cancer. This past year has tested my patience... as his disease progresses, it gets harder and harder to stand by and take his mistreatment. I understand that his personality "flaws" are caused by his disease and not what's in his heart. Thanks to my faith, I'm able to continue to walk by his side and work on my patience and understanding everyday.

The fulfillment I feel and the change my heart has felt has given me confidence that Jesus is working within me.
