Strengthening Faith

Before I accepted Christ as my savior, I couldn't understand why my friends and family were so passionate about God; I wanted to know what I was missing out on.

As a church-baby, I have known God all my life, but I haven't had a strong faith, but one year I went to a Christian retreat with my parents. After hearing many testimonials from the speakers, I was moved that God could do such a miraculous thing even in normal people. After that retreat, I gave my life to God. Three years later, I attended the same retreat only to avoid the stress from work I had yet to finish, but during those three years, I had not grown in my faith, nor had I gone far in my walk with God. I felt slightly uncomfortable being surrounded by firm believers at first, because I was still not a strong believer. After I heart all the people sing from the bottom of their hearts, I could see how much they loved God. Over the course of two days, this retreat helped me really deepen my faith in God. Not only did I make many new Christian friends, I made a choice-to rededicate my life to God with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength.

The God I first met 10 years ago has been with me every step of my life, and I know I will be able to spend eternity with Him in heaven.
