[QUOTE="money_pit_yj, post: 678651, member: 7710"] Now here is mine: I spent a huge part of my life craving something. i never quite knew what it was. I come from an amazing home, my parents love me and my family and I have never wanted anything in life that I didn't get. My dad taught me work ethic, how to serve people and be a respectful man and contribute to society. Still looking for something. I didn't find it in pornography, alcohol, gambling, being a good boyfriend, the life of the party, a hard worker, or a fun guy to be around. No matter how much of that I was a part of, there was still an empty hole. Of course I didn't know it but I had to keep chasing the next big thing, the next fulfillment and never could be at peace. In October of 2002 I went to a Judgement house play with my girlfriend and that is where my life changed. I met Christ. I didn't meat the physical Christ but I heard the Gospel. I heard how even though I did not deserve it and may not accept it that God loved me so much he sent his son to pay the debt I racked up through mysinful life. Long story short, that night the hole in my heart was filled. Over the next 5 years I struggled with my place. I didn't just get up from praying and leave all that bad stuff alone, I still struggle to this day with the effects of my past transgressions. I pray each day for me not to go back and think about or see the things I have seen and done. It is a struggle because sin is easy, we are bent towards sin, but what I don't struggle with is God's forgiveness of my sin. I remember the fact that those sins are washed away.
