asked to share his testimony here.
I had always had a mother
and grandmother that are saved trying to share Jesus with me, especially
my grandmother. I was never bad in school, and from 6th to 8th grade I
attended catholic school. This whole time I never had been saved. When
I reached High school I began to use drugs, and it began by just experimenting.
I also got in with the local gang by the age of 15 yrs. old. Actually now
it is a nationwide organization that operates a huge drug ring across the
country. But nevertheless, I believe that God Almighty's hand was upon
my life. You know you think that before you got saved, that God was this
far off unreachable being, and that you done so much wrong that there is
no hope of this heaven you had seldom heard about, as it were in my case.
Through looking back I can see God, I can see him with me. When I was robbing
and jumping people. At the parties smoking marijuana and drinking 40 oz.'s
of Ides, and I can especially see Him when I myself had been robbed and
on the nights where I just hated myself so much I would curl up and hope
to die. See satan had become my god. Even though I thought I was ruler
of my own life, I thought that everything was in my hands. Satan had taken
and stripped me of all hope, joy peace, love that was ever in me. There
were literally nights where I was afraid, I didn't know who I had become
or what was going to happen tomorrow. "will tomorrow be my last day here?"
"is the prison vacating a cell for me?" " Is this really all that life
has to offer?" There were nights where I just wanted to feel tears stream
down my face, I longed for them...I wanted to know that I wasn't a monster...that
I was really able to feel emotion again....but the tears never came. Hopelessness
controlled me, no sense of meaning or purpose in my life. I had money,
popularity, respect caused simply by fear, and I had females whenever I
wanted....but still I wasn't satisfied....but a few years later I found
out that there is someone who sticks closer than a brother, closer than
any home boy you could ever have. Someone who WANTED give me my joy and
love and yes even my tears back.... JESUS CHRIST.... ripped from my chest
a heart of stone....and gave me a heart of flesh... He gave me a new start....
And whoever is reading this if your not saved...He is ready to do that
for you also...You don't have to changed...just except Him just as you
are...He loves you just the way you are...if you don't know how just say
like I said.....
