Choosing God
I grew up in a Christian home and accepted Jesus as my Saviour when I was a young child. I went to church and attended every church activity offered throughout my adolescent years, pretty much because it was expected of me by my parents. I could recite bible verses, sing all the Sunday School songs and I even invited friends to church, but as I got older, I was just going through the motions. I was living as if being a Christian was a decision I made one day and did not need to put much thought into anymore. In high school and college, I was definitly not living a Christian lifestyle, which eventually caught up to me.
During college, I decided to start going to church on my own, which was the first of many steps I would need to take throughout the next few years to acheive true happiness. I began to realize that every decision I make to put God first in my life and live according to His will, helps me to grow closer to God and that is a good place to be. I have also learned that being a Christian is a one time decision, however, following God and living according to His will is a daily decision, Luke 9:23 "...If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me". It is a daily battle to live in this world and I am glad I do not have to face that battle alone.
