Before Jesus Changed My Life

Before I had faith in Jesus, I was far more self-centered. I was always thinking about what I could do next — golfing, playing video games with friends, having some drinks. A common theme in my life was constantly looking forward to the next thing I got to do.

How Jesus Changed My Life

Eventually, my choices led to trouble in our marriage, and that difficult season led me to start following Jesus. From then on, my life began to change — less focused on material things and myself, and more on how I could serve and care for my family and what needed to be done. I found ultimate satisfaction in Christ, realizing how I spend my free time, how much money I make, or the material things I have — none of that will matter the day I get to see Him. That realization brought a lot of peace to my life and the decisions I now make.

My Life After Jesus Saved Me

I spend my time differently now. Most days begin with some kind of Bible reading. As a family, we prioritize church and pray together, as well as individually. Belief in Jesus has become something we actually talk about in our home, which we never really did before. My heart has changed in a way that I now think about others, especially my wife and children, far more often than I used to. Though I don’t do this perfectly, I’m motivated by God’s grace to keep growing each day.
