From Negative to Positive

Before I received eternal life I struggled a lot with my confidence and had a low self-esteem. I was constantly alone and felt like nobody was there for me. I suffered from anxiety which developed into severe depression and would often consider suicide during my "attacks".

I remember a stage when I just thought that no one cares and that I was alone and these thoughts almost led me to take my own life. I was constantly negative even though it did not seem that way. I would be "happy" on the outside but there would be no joy in my life. I was alone.

Even though I remember giving my life a few years ago to Jesus, I never truly knew what that meant until a very dear and important person in my life had decided to introduce me to Him. I started going to church and became involved. Learning all I could and I still am. I finally realized that He has always been there for me and has accepted me for who I am. I have been given eternal life.

Now that I have eternal life. I know that I am not alone and even though I still struggle from anxiety it is much better, because I know that I will be alright and that he is there for me.

Often times when I feel that I am having an anxiety attack, I pray. I pray or have a conversation with the Lord and through that I calm down and I know I am getting through it.

Now that i know that I have eternal life and that I am not alone. Jesus is always there and even if I were to die right now, I would not fear it and I would embrace it.
