Life changed for me after a point of crisis in my life. Before high school, I was a superficial kid who deep down wanted to experience the emotional intimacy I craved but was so elusive. It was during high school that I turned to sex and filled my life with possessions but discovered they couldn’t satisfy my longing to be truly loved.
After High School a distant cousin shared with me that I could have a personal relationship with Jesus. This piqued my interest as someone who went to church but never heard that Christ was so personal. After realizing my life was spiraling out of control and none of my relationships had the depth I craved, I surrendered my heart to Christ and asked Him to fix my broken life and save me from my many sins.
After I shared everything with Jesus, followed hard after Him, and put boundaries in place He began to transform me from an angry, shallow, lustful young man into a compassionate and loving person who craves authentic and transparent relationships.
I really like your simple story of how you discovered a relationship with our Creator. The most important thing is knowing Him. Our relationship with God will continue throughout eternity.
