My testimony

I am so thankful that I have eternal life, I placed my faith in God at an early age. I can clearly remember the tug on my soul that night at church and the urgency I felt to be saved. I am so thankful that God is always with me and never walks away from me. There was a period of my life in my late teens and early 20s when I walked away and started living for myself. I was selfish and living a very sinful life. But praise God that He never left me or turned His back on me. He kept pursuing me and thanks to the many prayers of my parents I too was the prodigal child who returned home to my faith. I rededicated my life to Christ and started growing more in my relationship with Him. He has forgiven me for my past and blessed me more than I deserve. I have peace in knowing I have a personal relationship with God and will spend eternity with Him.

I am so thankful that even though I was selfish and living very worldly for a time that God didn’t throw the towel in with me. He never said that’s it Natalie, you’ve messed up for the last time. He kept pursuing me and showing me that I couldn’t do this without Him. And when I was tired of living without Him he ran to me with open arms. I am nothing without Christ. I owe Him everything I am.

I have peace knowing I am a child of God. Knowing He lives in my heart and walks with me daily helps me when this life gets too hard. I rest in knowing this world is not my home and one day I will have eternal life with my Savior Jesus Christ.
