My Inner Peace

Before I received eternal life I was always overwhelmed with a strong fear of failure, which led to stress, anxiety, and depression.

I remember in high school being so tired of life, that I wondered what it would be like if I just quit. Would anyone really suffer if I ran my car into a tree? The stress would be gone, but I thought the Bible said people who commit suicide go to hell, and I didn't want that.

Then in college, friends taught me what it was like to truly follow Jesus and believe in him, eventually leading to eternal life.

Once I began to walk closer with him, I was able to find an immense sense of inner peace.

I remember applying for graduate school and never worrying about where I would end up. God had a plan for me, I did not fear. When I didn't receive scholarship the first year, I didn't worry about rejecting my acceptance, because I had a job and knew that somehow God would use me for his work in Connecticut. I am so happy I didn't get in that year, because I was able to meet amazing new people, and put on my first concert to glorify our Father.

I know that I am walking with Jesus because I feel his impact everyday. I am confident that when my time is up, God will take my hand and let me enter heaven. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him will have eternal life." Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life." Eternal life is mine, because Jesus is with me.
