What's My Story
Finding life to the full
Dan
Since I started living for Jesus, he has given me a genuine love for other people and he helps me overcome my selfishness that would keep me from showing them that love.
Jesus has given me the ability to see areas where I put my needs above the needs of others and he helps me change that aspect of my life. I have experienced this as a gradual process. Little by little, God has been refining me from the sin-loving man that I was, into a man who loves him, tries to live in a way that honors him, and fights against the temptation to fall back into my old life of sin. I'm not perfect, and I never will be, but my heart is to avoid sin and to steadily grow in my love for God.
I now know that there is something bigger than myself worth living for. I know that this world and all that it has to offer (pain, work, fatigue, money, etc.) is not all that there is. I know that I will live forever with Jesus, who is more amazing than the best, most enjoyable person I know (or wish I knew) here on earth. And in the meantime, I can rest in knowing that God causes all things to work out for good for those who love him (Romans 8:28). I can trust that even if things seem bad now, God has a bigger purpose for which he is preparing me.
