Uganda Mission Team Member Shares Personal Story

Please let me share something very personal with you today. I was one of those kids that grew up in a church and wished I hadn’t. I just wanted a normal life with no responsibility of having to think about who God is or what He wants.



As a child, listening to Sunday school lessons, hearing talk about God in church, and watching church people left me in a confused and agitated state. I couldn’t figure out why there are so many denominations and why they don’t get along. Or why they say God is loving and yet, are so mean to each other.



I invited Jesus into my life when I was five years old and then resented that I had given my life to anything or anybody before I even knew what my life was to give. As an adult, I attended church and tried to be a Christian, but eventually gave up. When I drank alcohol, I became an alcoholic. I got married and divorced twice. I was afraid, angry, frustrated and kept trying to work out my life by myself.



As my way of living exhausted me, I started to wonder about God. It made sense to me to go to the Bible, the source, instead of a church for answers. I started reading the Bible daily with one question in mind: “Who is God and what is He really like?” I found that Jesus said He came in love to point the way to God.



The Bible says he is the loving, healing, God of peace. I discovered that following Jesus put me on a path of peace and happiness I had never known before. I learned He is pleased with me and has a plan for my life. It’s such a peace to know that I’m on my way home to Heaven with him when I die. Following him hasn’t made me perfect, just forgiven.



I am sharing this with you today because I am concerned about the stresses we live in. I want you to be able to know the same peace, happiness, belonging to God’s family, and assurance for eternity that I have found. To really find Jesus, I had to search for Him personally, and not just a religion. It is wonderful to be in a relationship with the living Jesus Christ.



I prayed something like this: “Jesus, if you are real, will you come into my heart and live in my life? Show me how to let you be Lord of my life.” If you haven’t done this yet…please pray something like this for yourself and find the treasure that I have found. And thank you for reading my story.
