How has Jesus changed your life, or is changing your life.

Jesus gave me a purpose in life and has changed the way I think about everything. I grew up in a non-Christian household but was fortunate enough to have gone to church when I was younger, so I knew of God. When I got into high school, I stopped going to church and lived life my own way. During that time, I’ve always felt some kind of pull to go back to church but I ignored it. It wasn’t until I was probably in the lowest part of my life where that pull from God was strongest. I was looking for a new church to go to and one of my friends invited me to a church he was attending. It was there that I gave my life to Jesus. Jesus filled a hole in me that was missing and He is constantly showing me His grace.

What’s your favourite Bible verse?

1 Peter 5:7 - “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you”. This verse has helped me go through some hard times and is a really good reminder that we don’t have to shoulder every burden.
