What's My Story
Colby Ardis
For most of my life, I trusted Colby, that is me, for everything. I had risen to the pinnacle of my career, had all I thought I needed, had no debt, had a wonderful family, went to church every Sunday, sang in the choir, and did many things to please other people because I thought it was important for them to like me.
I thought that if other people liked me, God would be pleased with me also. I was trying to earn my way to Heaven by pleasing other people so I could be happy.
Over time, I learned that this way of life did not consistently fulfill me. I was frequently left feeling empty and depressed.
Then as I grew older, knowing my father died at age 48 and my mother 52, I thought I'd make it to 50. Even so, before I received eternal life, I wasn't really afraid of death, I was afraid of not being happy. My life revolved around me and had no real purpose.
Then, I received eternal life.
I now know what real joy is and my life has purpose. I am excited about each new day and look forward to what God has planned for me.
I am now a new person in Christ. He is in Me and I am in Him. Knowing that He will be with me and I with Him forever is a very peaceful feeling. I have no worries, no fears. I have a personal relationship with Jesus. Jesus is my best friend and the only one I want to please. Not to earn my way to Heaven, but to thank Him for what He has done for me.
Do you want to be free of all your worries and all your fears? Do you, like me, want to know for sure that you have eternal life and that you are going to Heaven when you die? If you do, then I would like to ask you another question. May I?
