Before I received eternal life, I had no hope or purpose to my life. It really became apparent to me when I was in my early 20's. My mom, who was also my best friend, came down with ovarian cancer; and she died within a year. Afterward, I became severely depressed and lost a lot of weight. During that time, I even prayed to God to let me die; and in a way, I did.

I died to that old life when I received eternal life.

Now that I have eternal life, I have a hope, joy and a peace inside me, and a purpose to my life. Many things have happened to since that time to show me just how much God has changed me. In fact, recently I developed a heart arrhythmia and had to be hospitalized for it. Even though I still have three children at home, I did not lose that hope and peace God gave me. There was an older lady there at that hospital beside me, who was having significant health issues, and I was able to help and comfort her during my time there.

This peace and purpose to my life comes from knowing that I have eternal life and being sure that when I die, I will go to be with God in Heaven.
