Well, i grew up in a smoewhat christian home. i mean, we would go to church every sunday and youth group every wednesday, but at home no one was living a Godly lifestyle. it still is really hard for me now that i have accepted Christ for real, because sometimes i just want to fall into the sinful ways and do the things i see being done around me. its really hard for me to stay strong at home because it seems that no one else is living there life for God, and i sometimes want to act the ways they act. but then i remember how it feels to be close to God and know that he is there for me and that he loves me no matter what. i have now been able to do the right thing in tough situations. i guess the biggest change i've seen in my life is that im doing the better thing now, instead of always taking the 'easy way out' or 'following the crowd' because i now have God's word to back me up and help lead me to live the right lifestyle. i am continualy changing, growing in my relationship with Christ, because God is molding me to be the person he created me to be. although i dont always like the changes, i know that God has a plan and that he's only helping me in the outcome. there are some obvious changes, such as me reading my bible, praying often, and living a lifestyle honoring to God [although we all, including myself, fall short of living a lifestyle honoring to God.[we sin]]. but inside, my heart is being changed by God. opening me up to Him and helping me find my way. He is helping me realize that everyone he has put in my life, he has put there for a reason. |
I have been a Christain as long as I can remember so I have not seen a "conversion change", but I have been changing as I grow. At Way Deep we talked about who it was that planted the seed of faith in your life. For me, it was more of a question of who sparked the flame in my life. When I became on fire for God, I became a happier, more outgoing person. I fell in love with Jesus and have to share it. |
