Questions?

I would sometimes lie in bed at night and think to myself “is there more to life than this?” I didn’t know who or what God was but I thought if there is a “God” out there I better get to know him.

A mate of mine invited me to go along to his church one time and so I decided to check it out. When I was there I noticed that everyone seemed to know God personally and have an actual relationship with him. The more I heard about Jesus and what he had done, the more I wanted it as well. Then the day came, when my mate asked me did I want to know God in my life?

Decision time

I knew God was real and I knew that I didn’t know him. I had done plenty of things wrong in my life and so I knew I needed God’s forgiveness. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t be that perfect person, just one look at a nice looking girl and my mind would wander. “I would never be able to please God” I thought. But my mate reminded me that Jesus had died on a cross for everything that I had done wrong and if I asked Jesus for forgiveness then I could not only be freed from guilt but I could actually know him in my life.

I went for it

I decided to take the plunge, I honestly reminded God of all the bad stuff I had done, and then asked him to forgive me. I then prayed that God would fill me with his spirit so I could know him in my life. Later that night as I lay in bed I knew a joy that I had never known before and I knew God’s presence with me and I even did a little dance under my covers, I was loving it!!

I still hang out with my mates and have a drink and a laugh but I now know God is with me and I live for him. I haven’t got it all sorted but I now know God is with me. If you are interested in looking into this yourself I would love to tell you more – why not get in touch?
