What's My Story
John Marklew
I think it was because of this I ended up getting very involved in drugs as I took the attitude "live for the Now". Life could only be about partying and having fun, so that's exactly what me and my friends did. Of course that just ended with loads of trouble including my best friend dying of a heroine overdose.
Then one day I was invited to a Christian event where the speaker told me how I could get to know God and receive eternal life. Up to then I didn't know that was possible I never went to church as a kid and I didn't understand what any of it was about.
That evening, I received eternal life.
When I got to know God everything changed. Life suddenly made sense and I felt for the first time that I had a purpose - a reason. The emptiness inside of me left, it was like a hole being filled in and I stopped taking drugs without any bad effects - I just knew I didn't need them any more. I found my life had meaning and there was something - someone worth living for. I gained an incredible fullness in my life.
And the best thing is that I know that this fullness isn't something that's here today - gone tomorrow. But I know that I have eternal life and this fullness is with me forever even when I die and go to heaven.
