My Story: In 3 Minutes or less

I was reading an article that talked about telling your story in 3- minutes or less, so I decided to try it.
Here's the article:

Who were you before you met Jesus?
I was depressed, suicidal, lonely, searching for satisfaction and to find something to fill the emptiness that threatened to eat me alive. I'm convinced that if Jesus hadn't come and scooped me up, I'd be dead by now.

How did you first hear of Jesus?
I grew up in a Christian home, going to church, Sunday school, and Awanas - so I'd heard about Him all of my life.

What was your conversion like?
 I prayed the prayer when I was 5, but it wasn't until the summer before my sophomore year that I realized that Christianity was so much more than just going to church and legalistically reading my bible (or not). That's the first time I saw the real relationship aspect of it.

What is the most important thing you have learned about Jesus since your conversion?
Wow. I easily get caught up in the pursuit of theology, so I could say any number of intelligent sounding things about doctrine or yada yada, but the reality is Jesus' love daily has me on my knees. Every morning when I wake up to find that He still loves me, He'll always love me, and there's nothing I can do to increase or decrease that love - there isn't anything I can do but fall to my knees. Jesus loves me. JESUS loves me. Jesus LOVES me. Jesus loves ME. Wow.

How has your view of yourself changed in view of your relationship with Jesus?
  I used to hate myself. I was suicidal and depressed, but Christ has truly pulled me out of death and into life. I find my worth in Christ instead of seeking satisfaction from things of this world. I am truly satisfied in the arms of Christ.

How does your story best point people to Jesus?
I love Jesus. So much. Sometimes I can't contain it, and I think people can see that - so I think in a lot of ways just my joy for life and my love for Christ indicate that it's something more than the lukewarmness that we see a lot of times in Christians. It's so much more than going to church, it's the relationship with our wonderful Savior and Redeemer.

{Praise God from whom all blessings flow}
