MyGen Profile Generator So I guess that for a while there was a story on here that had a very abrupt ending to it. Well that was just the begining to my life. When I was younger I was a great kid and everyone loved me. When I was five I got a little brother and a sister when I was seven. I grew older and in seventh grade I went on a trip to Japan which was a blast, you should go if you get the chance.I went high school a still everyone liked me life was great. I graduated and went off to college where i am studying communication today. So there you have it my life..pretty amazing huh. looks pretty good on the outside, right. Well, if you said yes then we were both wrong. In this life, the only thing that matters is what lies on the inside.... of our hearts. Here comes the microscope. The little brother that I wanted was born with cancer and due to the change in focus of the attention of my family i grew to resent and became physically and mentally abusive to him. I grew up pretty much a follower doing what I could to get the attention that I was lacking. I never grew up in church or a Christian home so I knew nothing about the God who loved me dearly (see John 3:16) or that i could have a personal relationship with Him. Before highschool i looked great but my heart was filled sin (see Romans 3:23) and was empty of love and compassion. I was seperated from God(Romans 6:23). This went on until the summer before my sophomore year of highschool when i met my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins and rose again three days later(1 Corinthians 15:3-6). One night at a youth led revival I asked Jesus Christ to come into my heart and forgive me of my sins and to make me the person he wanted me to be.Guess what... He did. He changed my heart and life completely. But the story isn't over yet. During my freshman year my mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and during my sophomore year my dad was diagnosed with Hepatitis C (both are incurable). Later that year my dad tried to commit suicide which hurt me deeply and i didn't understand why God would allow this to happen. Shortly after Jesus saved me I turned away from Him and quit going to church. My life was upside down and I became depressed and empty once again. Between my junior and senoir year I got involved with alcohol and physical relationships to try and ease th pain. Sports became my god and invested everything that I had into them. I ditched the friends who really cared about me and did whatever it took to fit in with the cool croud.I was a completely different person and it just did't work. None of it filled me up. By the end of my senior year I had lost everything. The new "friends" weren't really my friends at all, the sports I devoted myself to let me down, and the family I had at home was almost nonexistent to me. Until one day the God that i had been denying stepped back into my life and changed it once again. He had been persuing me all along. One night he woke me up again. I turned back to God from myself and He changed my life. He gave me hope once again, and filled me with Love for him and others once again. And all it took was faith. I know all about tragedy and sorrow and feeling useless, and having no hope.And I tell you that nothing came fill you with life, love, and hope like a relatioship with Jesus Christ. believe me i've tried an it always fails, but God will never fail you he loves you dearly and wants to have a relationship with you. And you can have that relationship by simply turning to God from yourself and trusting Jesus to come into your life and forgive you of your sins. Salvation is absolutely FREE and you don't have to work for it(Ephesians 2:8,9). If that is the desire of your heart you can recieve Jesus by faith through a simple prayer, talking to God: Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. i open the door of my life and recieve You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. take control of the throne of my life and make me the person you want me to be. If you prayed that prayer you can be assured that Jesus is in your life and that you will spend eternity with Him in heaven.I hope that this story has met a need of your heart. Do not be decieved, no matter what your stuggle you are Not alone in it and NO sin is too big to be forgiven. My life is still far from perfect and I still struggle with sin but Jesus is my hope.
