I longed for someone or something
to change my life
I had this emptiness and loneliness
inside of me
I had a deep hunger inside..
not knowing for what…
I continued having this desire for something
to fill the emptiness
I searched all over for that missing link
I read selfhelp books
I tried to be a better person
I did all the rights things
according to the standard of men
I even attented church on a regular base
But still I was empty on the inside…
Until one day I cried out to one name…
That one sweet name was JESUS
The name above all names
That name saved me…
That name healed me…
That name delivered me…
That name wrote my name
in the palms of His hands
He taught me to love…
He taught me to forgive…
He taught me to have faith…
He taught me to trust Him no matter how hard,
No matter under which circumstances
No matter how I “felt”
He taught me to hear His voice
He showed me my gifts and showcased them
He revealed Himself to me as a loving Father
He told me He loves me
He told me I am His precious daughter
He told me that He will never leave me
nor forsake me.
Today I have peace, love, joy and victory.
Jesus changed my life!
I HAVE FOUND WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!
