Nobody is perfect. Can't even come close!! But if we have the Lord in our hearts and live for Him, He will guide and protect us, and help us through this life.
He is always with you, and He loves you. No matter who you are, where you've been, or what you have done. You are loved and forgiven. God sent Jesus to the cross for YOU. Because His great love! This life won't be easy. But God is with us.
He knows we make mistakes, we just got to ask for His forgiveness and guidance. Focus on Him. Seek the kingdom of God. You will be rewarded for it. He gave His life for us, therefore we should live our lives for Him.
God has given me much wisdom and knowledge and I praise Him for it. He will give you wisdom too, just ask and you will receive. Read Matthew 7:7.
It is a miracle that I am alive today. Last summer I was so angry and frustrated. I didn't understand where God was, or why He let me hurt so much when I needed Him so bad. Well, all those feelings and emptiness got the best of me. I had said that I was giving up on God.
It wasn't many days later when I overdosed on pills and almost died. I remember that I kept waking up and passing out, waking up and passing out, nonstop. I was hallucinating really bad, and all colors and everything was distorted. I couldn't form any words. I couldn't move at all. I didn't know what was real. I never saw it coming. I have never been in so much physical and mental pain in my entire life. I felt like I wasn't even there in my body. I couldn't even think....everything was jumbled together.
The one straight thought was me begging God not to let me die. I knew where I'd be if I died. You see...God always has a plan and a purpose. Always. I was so angry and empty and was giving up on God.
God knocked me down until all I could do was look up to Him. And He will do that. He will bring you to your knees to make you a stronger more faithful Christian. He did that with me, and many others. And sometimes He is silent. That is to test our faith and make us stronger. He doesn't ever leave us or forsake us. I have done many many things I'm not proud of. But God kept giving me chances. He had a better plan. Finally I gave in to Him and it was the best choice I've ever made.
But keep in mind that God knows we aren't perfect but we can't keep sinning thinking all we have to do is ask for forgiveness afterwards. It doesn't work like that.
God is a God of many chances, but there is a time that only Him knows when it is, where He will draw the line and give no more chances. Just remember He loves us all, no matter where you've been. He will save you from the chains that are holding you.
Just ask and pray in the name of the Lord and believe He will hear and it will be done.
And by the way I'm 18.
