If Not For Jesus Where Would I Be

If Not For Jesus, Where Would I Be? At times, I wondered how I was going to make it. All of the problems I had… How would I take it? It seemed like the pressures of life came crashing down. I see a lot of fears and anxiety that are all around! Sometimes I go hide in the closet and let myself cry. There are times I just wanted to “run away and die! I have often wondered if anybody really cares. It just seems like trouble follows me everywhere! I’d asked; “Can Jesus really love me?” I had so many problems… Would he help me? Just about the time that I asked this question. I felt a peace and hope that took away my “tension.” It was if I felt the hand of God reach from above. And began to fill me with an overflowing love! I cried and wept like I’ve never done before! Whatever was happening to me... I wanted more! I cried and called for help, in Jesus’ name… Things in my life have never been the same! Christ has brought to my life a healing and restoration! And blessed me with HIS love and gift of salvation! He removed the things in life that I was holding on to! And taught me to pray, though I didn’t want to! I thank Jesus, for the work that he’s done in me! He’s done all of this, because of his love for me! I invite you to come and allow Jesus a chance… He can change you now! Whatever the circumstance! Jesus blesses those who earnestly seek him! Now can be the time for you to receive him!
