I love a good inspirational story. If I had not found god I would be on the streets doing drugs or in jail. I have found great peace in Jesus ! How did you come to know him ? Was it hard at first or did it take right away ? Tell me your story.

I know if I didn't have God in my life. I wouldn't be able to get though everyday. Theres been many time that my husband and I have both walked away and ended up finding our way back to him. When times have been at the lowest times in out lives we have always felt his presents. He has blessed us many times. Some of the things that have happened. People have laughed at us thinking we are nuts. But I know that it was his way of letting us know he was there with us. He bring great inner peace to us.

I was saved a long time ago as at age 12 during Vacation Bible School. As I got older I changed and due to things that happened at a church I went to I turned away from God and the Church for a while.Over the years I would go to church for a while but would leave again. I wound up turnning to Wicca for about 2 yrs and learned a lot about myself that I would never have learned any other way. Now I am back to serving and worshipping God as I was raised to do and happier than I have ever been.

I was saved when I was six, I remember asking my mom for permision ! I went to church till I was 15 then things got realy bad at home and I left. When I did I completely turned from everything I had been tought. I thought, how could God allow me to be in this situation, I know now that we go through things that are hard for a reason, he has a plan. After many years of denieing Christ I finally came back to the church when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. It was only by Gods grace I was able to turn my life around and be a good (single) mom for my son. After a couple of years I met my Husband who has been instramental in increasing my devotion to God. God has rewarded my and I thank him every day for it.

If I didn't find God I have no idea where I would be. I would probably have killed myself long ago, but once I found God, I found worth in myself and my life. I went to a play with my youth group and it woke me up to how important it is to have faith.

I really don't know where I would be but I know it would be bad. God gives me peace when I think about my family members that have gone on. I'd hate to know I'd never see them again. I recently took a long car trip and I was a little scared because I had to do the driving and I don't read maps. Many things happend along the way but I felt the presence of God guiding me through. I think we all fall short by not realizing what a true blessing He is. We tend to take things for granted when God is in control all the while. Without Him we would not be able to look forward to heaven. God bless you, it is always refreshing to hear from a believer. There are so many out there who do not believe.

If I didn't find God, I would not know myself and where I am going, I would have been totally lost without peace at all and suffering from hardships I would not understand. I'm so grateful that I found God and understand His Word and He has given me the spiritual gift of knowledge and understanding of Bible Greek and now a servant of God translating the Word of God from Greek to English and I have already published THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English), GENESIS & EXODUS (Greek to English), ELEMENTS of SALVATION, The Right Way, GOD, ORIGIN, TRANSFER into PERFECTION, and others found at http://www.lulu.com/arseniajoaquin

I was saved by the grace of God as a very little girl. I was around 5 or 6 years old. It was at a Christmas play at my Church. They went through the scene of Jesus being crucified and hanging on the cross. It was very real to a little girl of my age. It broke my heart. At the end of the play they gave invitation/altar call and I felt my heart pounding. I remember pulling my mother's arm and telling her I had to go. I went down to the altar and was saved. Now, I'm not saying I've lived a perfect life. That is far from the truth. I've strayed away many many times but have always found my way back to the Lord. I couldn't make it without him. He has helped me through so much and has forgiven me for so many things that I could never repay him. But I know he is always there for me to help me through even the lowest valley.I would surely not have made it this far without my Jesus!!!
