My Story, The short version....

Without God, my life would mean absolutely nothing. It's because of God that I have a loving family and am safe. I'm adopted, that means my birth parents couldn't take care of me so I got a new family. If I hadn't been adopted I would most likely have been on the streets, into drugs, abused or bounced around from family to family.

God's kind of like an adoptive parent, that's what He is to me and so much more. I am a sinner , there isn't a human being who hasn't sinned against God. I've lied, thought bad thoughts about someone, disobeyed my parents, and Lord knows a lot more. Without God we live an empty life and are slaves to our sin. The price of sin is death. Because God is a very good God he can't let sin into heaven, when we die God would have to send us to hell. Not because he hates us but because we are dirty with sin.

God loves me and you so much that He gave us a way to be cleaned from our sins. God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to earth and He lived a perfect life. Never once sinned. Jesus then died for the price of my sin and yours too. It was our sin that nailed Him to the cross. Then on the third day God raised Him from the dead.

God has offered me the chance to become apart of His loving family. I said out loud that Jesus was my Lord (king of my heart), I believe that God rose Him up from the third day and repented (was sorry for my sins and turned away from my sin). We can do all things through Christ who gives us the strength. You can do the same thing! It's the only way to become free from the bad stuff we've done, and nothing is more precious then having the Love of Jesus in our lives. Please get right with God, He wants to erase your past and give you a clean future with Him
