Hope over despair

Before I had Jesus in my life, I was utterly depressed and full of despair. My heart was bitter, resentful, and full of filth.

I had no drive and no ambition; I didn't even want to get out of bed most days. I stayed drunk and lived horrifically recklessly to suppress reality.

Then one night while in a typical drunken stupor, God got a hold of me. I felt and knew His presence. In my spirit He told me I had to surrender to Him... everything. I did.

Now that I am surrendered to the Lord, I have undeniable and indescribable hope, joy, and peace.

I now am able to minister to men, women, and children who struggle with depression, anxiety, despair, and apathy. Because of my experiences, I can help others learn to rely on God as their source of joy and peace just as I have.

God's Word has proven true to me over and over again; therefore, I know for certain I will go to heaven when I die. In Romans it says, "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved". I have confessed and I have believed!
