From fear to peace

Before I received Eternal life I was so self-centered and only thought about myself and what would please me in this life. I was going through a divorce and found out that my 4 year old daughter had leukemia. She was very sick and I was so scared.

I did not know what to do and I was so worried about losing my daughter. I thought about all the things that I had done wrong in my life and maybe it was my fault that she had this leukemia.

I knew that I could not do this on my own so I cried out to the Lord for help and he changed my heart and my life that very night.

Nothing had changed in my circumstances that night and my daughter still had to go through all of the chemo but I felt a peace that I had never felt and I knew that I was not alone anymore.

I knew that Jesus was with me no matter what happened and he gave me strength to go through all of her treatments and peace along every step of the way.

Jesus changed my heart and gave me a love for others and what they were going through. This peace that he gave me did not only last through my daughter's illness but it has lasted throughout my life. I am no longer afraid of death because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that when I leave this earth I will be in heaven with Jesus forever.
