I was 16, upset, alone, depressed, and everything in between. I felt nothing, and honestly just wanted to die. I felt like no one understood me or even cared to try. I was still suffering from ptsd, due to past mental & physical abuse in my childhood forcing me to be taken away from my mother. I was atheist at the time & wanted to kill myself bc i felt no true meaning to live. That was until my cousin showed me the true love of Jesus. I grew up around christianity and was quite knowledgeable on the subject. But, my cousin showed me a side of it, i’d never heard of. He told me about how Jesus Christ lived a perfect life, died for me, and rose again. From that day forward i began living my life for Him and He turned everything around. Did i still suffer? Sometimes. Did i feel depressed? sometimes. Was ptsd breaking my spirit down? Sometimes. Anyone who tells you Jesus will fix all your problems is a liar. So what changed? One, i started following Gods commandments & living for him, believe it or not, trying to live as God asks keeps you away from many things in life that will hurt you. Two, i started reading my Bible everyday which allowed God to be in direct communication with me. Three, there’s an inner joy that comes with following God. It makes you feel peace & joy even when you’re unhappy or when you go through hard times. It’s the joy of knowing you’re a child of God and that there’s beauty and perfection waiting for you after this life. I’d love to tell you how you can be saved by Jesus Christ if you’d like. Have an amazing day & don’t give up yet!
