Light in the darkness

I felt an emptiness with no purpose in life, and didn't know where I would be after I died.

I remember at an early age wondering what happened to people after they died. I had been to enough church services to understand that if a person died and didn't have Jesus, they would go to hell, and I remember thinking I don't want to die and go to hell.

I remember sitting at an FCA meeting in high school and listening to an evangelist named Billy Mayo speaking about a teen that had committed suicide, and Highway to hell was playing over and over when they found this guy. The Holy spirit started dealing with my heart and revealing that I was a sinner, and if I died that day without Jesus, I would spend eternally in hell. I closed my eyes and prayed, that Jesus would forgive me of my sins, and I put my trust in Him. I never really went to church, and I just went to the FCA because it had athlete on the end of it.

No matter what comes my way in life, my life is in Jesus's hand, and he will walk with me through this world and into eternity. I can lay down at night knowing that I have peace that surpasses all understanding and obstacles in my life, and when this vapor of a life is over, I will spend eternity with my savior.

I used to be scared to go to sleep before I got saved, but now I have peace and comfort in the darkness through Jesus who brought light into my life.

There is peace in my life that boroughs down in my soul, and it doesn't matter what storms come in my life, I have Jesus who will never leave me or forsake me.
