Before Jesus Changed My Life

My life before Christ was very bleak and dark. I was a struggling alcoholic, and I felt like life had no purpose, I tried to deal with it on my own, but everything I did to try with myself at the center fell flat, and just got worse.

How Jesus Changed My Life

About a year and a half ago, I joined HopeCDA, a Christian-based program. When I first joined, I honestly had very little faith that anything would change, However, after time of hearing and discussing the Word of God, I began to feel better than I have ever felt. "To me, gospel means the good word from God, letting us know that because of His son's sacrifice, we will be saved. As it says in John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Turning myself to the Lord and letting Him be the center of my world instead of myself, allowed me to become better as a man and Christian, and my life truly began to change for the better.

My Life After Jesus Saved Me

Now, my life has shone brighter than ever, thanks to God and his word, I now know that even though I spent most of my life in sin, that it's never too late to change that around, and that Christ will accept me and guide me forever. I no longer have to fear life or the difficult things it may bring. I can now pray and praise and let Jesus lead me, and I have a strong feeling that I will be okay no matter what, as long as I trust in and praise the Lord. I know that if I stay with Him, everything will be amazing.
