The Life Christ Gave Me…

There’s many things in life I tried to justify.

But nothing I’ve tried has really satisfied.

There’s been things I thought were fun to do.

But in the end, it was I who felt like a fool.

My “friends” promised me a dream fulfilled.

I was promised a new excitement and thrill.

The thrills were just a moment and were soon gone.

I then realized I was in a place where I didn’t belong.

I often wondered how could I get in such a mess?

Life was beginning to get me down and cause stress.

As I felt the enemies of life keep on “attacking.”

I knew there was something that I was lacking.

On the outside, everything looked “pretty good.”

But others didn’t know me, and misunderstood!

As discouraged seemed to be all around me…

There was a voice from heaven that “found me!”

This voice was from someone who I knew loved me.

He told me he was Jesus and he could help me!

I looked up with tears rolling down my face.

I asked Christ to come in and fill me with grace!

He reached down and brought a peace within!

I asked him to forgive me and take away my sin!

He restored my life!  And what the enemy took away!

I began to read his word and study it each day!

The life I have now, compared to where I was going…

Is filled with a satisfying love, that’s growing!

It’s all because of Jesus!  How much I love him!

I invite you to give him your life and TRUST him!
