"God of second chances"

It came to a point that I realized the urgent need of a profound change and to do something about my messed-up life. Hopeless and scared I needed a second chance.

I recalled Matthew 6:33 and knew this was what I had to do: But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Even though I knew about Jesus had given my life to Him, and searched around quite a bit, I went astray. Stopped going to church. For too long I’ve been living with this emptiness that comes from living an isolated and meaningless life, full of worries and anxiety. Working, yes, and hard too. But letting always others to decide what or what not to do and when instead of looking for goodly advice. Yes, there was crying, distress, agony…all that. After months of desperate praying finally I began to see the way the Lord was showing me. I began to attend church. Committed to be obedient (not so easy but I’m doing my best). I rededicated myself to Christ. Got baptized again and I’m eagerly studying the Word of God. All this lead me to be aware of the meaning that Salvation and Eternal Life has for all who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.

There are still ups and downs, but I have now the peace and joy that comes with the certainty that He is helping me out and is waiting for me at the end of the road to lead me to a new life at His side.
