The following is not a tale, not some story I fabricated. Nay, it is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth - the most valuable story of my life
I remember  too well those times of misery - those times when my heart cried out for something better than I had. Well do I recall those days when deep down in my soul, I longed for joy and peace. From vicarious, as well as direct experiences, I learnt that material things do not satisfy the inner cravings. Many have sought happiness through drinking and wild partying, relationships, some have thought having cash galore would ensure peace and joy. There were periods of enjoyment, no doubt, but those faded away into the blue, as they always do. As for me, I knew exactly what I needed. I knew the secret to having a joy that fades not away - the way to boundless freedom and endless joy.

Helpless, I turned to Jesus. I dropped to my knees and poured out the desire of my heart. I told Him how much I wanted to be happy. As I ended my prayer, I opened the Bible, and Isaiah 43:1 sprang out at me: "But now thus saith the Lord, O [Jevede], and He that formed thee, [O Jevede], Fear not: I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine." Those words were as refreshing to me as the dew is to the parched earth. The Lord had not forgotten me, and He wanted me to know that I am His, by creation and redemption. By creation, because He's my Creator; by redemption, because he had  died for my sins, and by His death, paid the penalty for my sins and bridged the gap between me and God (so God and I may be united). My time alone with Jesus brought such comfort and thrill to my soul, I had to sing to the Lord with a loud voice. From then on, a new life with Jesus began.

Like the millions who have found a Friend in Jesus, I was elated. The joy was unlike any other - so superior in every way. As darkness is dispelled when light enters, so my misery, unhappiness, insecurity and discomfort were all vanquished by the entrance of Jesus into my life. Because I have Jesus, I am able to sing:
When I should feel so sad,
Why does my heart feel glad?
Why does my soul feel so happy and gay?
When all around me sorrows fall,
Still I'm not worried at all,
For if I pray,
King Jesus will roll my burdens away.
You may desire true happiness, security, peace, and all the rest. Recognize this need, my Friend, as the need of Jesus in your life. You may be skeptical. That's okay. Jesus doesn't ask us to accept Him without providing sufficient proof that He lives, and that He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him (see the links below for proof). Friend, giving my life to Jesus was the best thing I've ever done. I beg you, please do not scoff at this. Before you choose to accept or reject this invitation, why not try Jesus first, to see whether He works? Then, after you have tried, make your unbiased decision.
