I can still remember having those warm and peaceful conversations with him in prayer, as if it was yesterday. It was in those young and joyful memories that forever put God into my heart. I didn’t have any brothers or sisters at the time, so the only friend I had was Jesus. You can say he was the love of my life. It was a special kind of bond like an older brother watching out for his younger brother. I always wanted to be like one of his angels actually like St. Michael his archangel. I wanted to fight the devil and the other fallen angels. I still recall some of those moves I would have done in my youthful age. If I try it now there is a good chance I might pull a muscle. You can say I loved Jesus with a pure heart an innocent child who knew no evil. But as I got older I started to listen to that voice of reasoning that voice of logic. How grown up one starts to feel becoming independent. I then turned my back on Jesus I broke the bond between us. His voice was still near but I started to ignore him I turned from him. Abandonment came on my part, to the one who just wanted be a part of my life to love me and care for me. As I got older I had a feeling deep inside of me that something was missing as if my loyalty belonged to someone. As if I was a soldier that had no king to serve. But I continued to ignore those feelings. The need for the approval of others and to fit in started to lead me to a path of darkness. My heart that once was full of joy and love became bitter and hateful. I then got in trouble with the law, twice even. I didn’t care because that was the mentality of my own wicked heart. Repentance became so distant to me that it didn’t even cross my mind. Besides being raised Catholic I always thought I had to go to church and confess my sins to some guy in a box as if he was my only mediator to Jesus whom I once cherished. How wrong a person can become. Even my mom told me something wasn’t right about me. I told her “You don’t know what you are talking about!” The closeness I once had with Jesus had disappeared from my life completely. Darkness was upon my life, no light could be found in me. For the light I once had was blown out by the demons that took hold of my life. My whole existence was becoming a fading memory. I was a wreathing tree that was only producing corruptible and spoiled fruits. At that time the wicked and evilness of the world seem fine in the sight of my wicked eyes. My eyes were seeing what the devil wanted to see and the funny thing about it was I was accepted by the world. With open arms the blind leading the blind to hell. Then a couple of months ago as my pathetic world couldn’t get any worst it was again turning on me. It was at this moment in time that I heard a soft peaceful voice one I haven’t heard from in a very long time. It was calling out to me. The one I had abandon on my part to fulfill the desires of my flesh. That voice was a mesmerizing memory of my childhood coming back to life. That same kind of memory as if you smell a certain scent and it would take you to that moment in your lifetime. It was the same thing about this soft peaceful voice that was talking to my heart. I didn’t know what to say for how could I. The feelings I felt was that I was beyond acceptance from the Lord. I thought the evilness inside of me had grown too strong. It felt like two people or personalities were inside of me like the true you the one who cares, the one who loves, the one who hopes was over shadow by an evil force that doesn’t care that hates that has no hope beyond this moment in life. My Lord spoke to my heart again. As I began to open up I realize I couldn’t find the right words to express my feelings as the tears started to run down the side of my face. I had never imagined I would be talking with Jesus again as I once did before. Realizing now he has always been by my side but I never stopped to look over my shoulder for him. He was always calling out to me but I never made time for him I was to busy. When I was locked up, when I was depressed when I was alone he was there calling out to me. But I didn’t hear him I didn’t want to because I knew I was doing wrong. I knew that I wasn’t that innocent little boy anymore. I knew I was filled with sin and hatred. And I had a heart that forgot how to care and love for another person other than myself. He spoke to my heart “My child don’t you know I love you!” It was at that moment that I asked if Jesus could take away all of my sins. Release me from these chains that bind me to the eternal flames of hell. There were many sins because it had been a long time. I repented all my sins through Jesus Christ. I prayed also if he could take away all this bitterness and hatred that I had built up inside of me. And as I prayed I felt the burdens of my destruction were being lifted from me. My Lord and My God covered my sins with His blood. Thank you, Jesus. I love you for all Eternity. That is my testimony and if anybody out there needs to be saved from the flames of hell also. I ask you to accept Jesus Christ into your heart through faith that He is the Son of God and the only mediator to God the Father. Read this prayer slow and from your mouth: “Father, I come to you in Jesus name. Jesus I ask you to forgive me of all my sins. I don’t want to go to hell. Give me a brand new heart. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. I accept you Jesus as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus name I pray.” Amen.
