Andy's Testimony

Before I became a Christian, I had low self esteem and was very insecure because we moved around so much when I was growing up. There was also the pain of rejection in trying to make friends and have meaningful relationships with new people every year or two.

It was hard to make friends and to "fit in" in new places. Sometimes it was just easier to be quiet and to retreat in myself than to risk being rejected by other kids.

Then someone shared with me how I could have eternal life.

Now that I have eternal life, I have confidence and security and I know that I have God's unconditional love for me along with a purpose in life.

The fear of rejection and insecurity can be crippling issues in a person life. They can make you second guess everything that you do, make you afraid to do the "normal" things in life (school, work, socializing, buying things at a store, and interaction with people). Having eternal life has helped me to overcome my fear of rejection and insecurity so I can work a job, interact with people, make friends, have meaningful relationships, and take care of the things of life.

Now I know that God is always with me, that He loves and accepts me, and that I am going to be Him forever!
