Housewife

"God was my Creator and I had no relationship with Him. I had offended and sinned against Him and I was heading to hell."

I grew up in a non-Christian family; I lived for nights out, drinking, smoking and men. I worked to fund these habits, but even though I was always on the go and surrounded by friends I felt lonely and unfulfilled.

I had always questioned why I was here on earth. Was there more to life than what I had? I learned something of ‘the spiritual world’ by using tarot-cards and visiting mediums. I was excited by them, but still I was lonely.

Then one day I was asked to go and hear a Christian speaker called John Blanchard on the subject ‘Where was God on September 11th?’ A bus load of my friends were going (mainly to have a laugh and try something new) however, no-one turned up except two Christian associates who I thought were a bit weird! I went into the meeting laughing but came out quiet. I had realised why I was lonely – God was my Creator and I had no relationship with Him. I had offended and sinned against Him and I was heading to hell. I had lived all these years without giving Him a thought.

The two Christian associates became my friends and they explained that Jesus died on the cross for me, loosened hell’s grip on me and rose again for me. All I had to do was trust in Him, and I did.

I am glad to say that Jesus saved me and since then I have never wanted to go back to my old life. He forgives my sins, fulfils my loneliness, gives me purpose in life and I look forward to being in heaven with Him.
