Story of a sinner

This poem just came to me and I hope it really speaks to someone. :)

I thought I had everything I ever wanted, that was a lie.

Everyday I would face death, but I would barely slip by.

The devil painted me a picture and there was an immediate attraction.

At the end of the day he would always get the satisfaction.

Truley hell was the direction for my soul.

I did what I wanted and my heart was a lump of coal.

Sometimes when I was alone, I felt empty inside.

I thought no one loved me and at nights I often cried.

One day someone told me, that Jesus died on the cross.

He did it for everyone, even those who were lost.

I started to call Jesus and I instantly felt new.

I no longer desired to do the things I used to do.

I'm so glad that I'm now forever free.

My heart has softened and i'm so full of glee.

So to you people who might have a story like mine,

if you aren't living for God, I pray you do just in time.

I loved it. I know how you feel I feel the same way now and I have jesus. I lock myself in my room every night cause I feel like nobody loves me. My family is broken apart and its hard on me. My dad got remarried and me and my sister are mistreated by our step-mom. I love my dad and all but I can't stay any longer. I tried to tell him but he slapped me and said stop lien to me so I know how it feels. If it wasn't for Krystal then I would have never found Jesus.

I loved it and I have to say before I came to Christ, I was the same way. I've always considered myself religious, even before I got saved, but it wouldn't really sink in how much Jesus loved me. So, I would go to church, but do my own thing. One day I realized that was not enough. Jesus died for our sins so we could live free. When we get saved, we should live for him. After all, he is our Savior.

I really like it. A beautiful picture of who we are before Christ releases us from the bondage of sin :)
