2 Corinthians 5:17 If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come!
Remember what you were like before you decided to accept the free gift of salvation from Jesus? I was a mess. I kept looking to fill the void in my life with relationships—pathetic ones actually. I depended on a mere human being to give me everything I needed to feel satisfied with my life, and to confirm that I had some kind of value. I got married only to decide years later that I had a right to walk away if everything wasn’t perfect and found I was still unhappy.
Not long after the divorce my Dad died. This was too much loss in a short amount of time. I asked myself, “Is this all there is to life?” Thankfully, my boss and his family invited me to church. Then my brother told me about a church in my city that I should check out because he had heard the pastor speak on the radio. Of course, my brother was saved and was praying for me, even though I didn’t know it. So, I checked out the church because I was searching for something better; I wanted to know there was a purpose to my life. That was 13 years ago.
Thank God that because of His work in my life I am a better person now and a much happier person. I know that Jesus Christ is all I need. He is my purpose in life.
Prayer: Jesus, thank You for saving me. Thank You for the Holy Spirit making me a new creation that no longer dwells in darkness, but shines in Your holy light. Give me a heart to share the good news of Your free gift of salvation with anyone who will listen!
