Before I truly knew Jesus, my life felt lost. I often struggled with toxic relationships and drugs. Even though I heard of Jesus, I didn’t understand who He was or how much He loved me.

Everything began to change when I decided to surrender my life to Jesus. Day by day I started making choices that reflected God’s love for me and I began to love myself again. I finally understood that Jesus wasn’t just a character from a story. He’s alive, He loves me personally, and He came to rescue and save me.

Since I gave my life to Jesus I have experienced peace and healing. I no longer carry the same burdens. Even when life is hard, I know he is with me. I’m learning to walk in faith and truth.

I’m choosing to be baptized today as a declaration that Jesus is my Savior and Lord and I belong to Him. I want to live the rest of the days of my life following Him and growing in Him. I know this is just the beginning and I trust Him with everything ahead.
