I was significantly blessed to have been able to receive eternal life at a very young age.
When I was a teenager, I went through a very difficult time in my life. I was suffering greatly from migraines. Nothing was helping and I began feeling that God had distant Himself from me. I did not want to live. I felt alone, depressed, and without purpose. I was in intense pain-physically and spiritually. I told God to either take me now or heal me if there was a reason for me to live.
I was reminded of His promise that He will never leave me and will carry me through the "storms" in my life. That gave me hope and peace. I fully committed my life to Christ because I wanted to serve Him and be used by Him. I wanted to make a difference in this world and be a light to the dark.
Ever since that day, my health improved and I have been used by God is many amazing ways and my life is full of purpose, life, hope, peace, joy, and love that cannot be expressed in words. He is with me in the good and the bad and I should not fear anything because He is in control and I know I will someday live with Him forever in eternal peace and happiness!
