You may have heard that a few people are leaving the congregation and God. This frequently happens in light of the fact that they have met individuals in the congregation who, rather than welcoming themselves to God, drive them away. I was such an individual as well.
In one of the Gospels, we read Jesus' words to strict pioneers: Woe to you, copyists and Pharisees, fakers! You look like whitewashed graves, which look decent outwardly, yet inside are loaded with human bones and a wide range of earth. (Matthew 23:27)
It is anything but difficult to envision such an image: a lovely shining grave, a bright day, new blossoms, light, however inside it smells and an appalling rotting body. This is what my life resembled. It was excellent outwardly: I never smoked, drank, reviled, everybody stated: Well, Peter, such a decent man! Be that as it may, every once in a while the top of the burial chamber moved and individuals stated, Peter, how is it possible that you would do something like this? What's more, they were shocked, yet I was miserable. I knew up and down that there was a power inside me that pushed me to go where I would not like to, however I was unable to conquer it.
Around then, God was imperative to me, yet in addition inaccessible - I saw him as an incredible however indifferent power.
This is what my life resembled before I went to college. There, in school, I met understudies who discussed Jesus in an unexpected way — as though they knew him by and by. We discussed what he did on the cross for humankind, that he passed on to vanquish sin, and that gratitude to him we can be liberated from the intensity of transgression. I understood that I was confronted with the choice of opening my heart and welcoming Jesus to manage the intensity of my transgression. I began perusing the Bible. Following half a month, I decided and, in a short petition, welcomed Jesus into my heart.
Following a couple of more weeks, Jesus started to purify the grave and my life and started to transform me. In the first place, he explained my associations with individuals. This cycle of progress proceeds right up 'til the present time. Something else that has totally changed is that Jesus is presently a dear companion of mine. I can't see him, I can't hear him, however I know he's with me and I can generally confide in him. I wish every one of you such a relationship with Jesus.
From that point forward, God has utilized me to carry numerous individuals to him and to the congregation, so now my life has a reason and a reason.
