God saved me from myself

Before I received eternal life I was very self centered.

I didn't care who I stepped on or hurt to get what I wanted. I was a very successful business man and made lots of money. I took advantage of my wife and ignored my children. Everything was about me and what I had and what I could get to make myself happy.

Then I discovered eternal life and I began to live differently and my heart broke over the people I hurt and the other broken and hurt people in the world.

Now that I have eternal life I have joy, peace and real purpose in my life. I am more fulfilled than I ever felt when I lived for myself.

One day I was in a parking lot and a man on drugs pulled an AK47 on me, he threatened to kill me if I didn't give him my truck. I wasn't afraid for my life I knew I was in God's hands and no matter what happened I would be with him in heaven forever. I slowly walked to my truck and got in and drove away. The man was later captured and sentenced to prison. I help him by sending him money and witnessing about how good a life surrendered to Christ is both now and in eternity.

Not only did God have his hand on me and save me from the man who threatened to kill me on that day. I know he has saved me forever and now I have real joy and peace in everything I do even when things are hard.
