Hello all. My name is Jett Andrews, and I live in Western Canada. I'm 17 years old and I've been Born Again for 5 months now. The Lord revealed himself to me, and I'd like to share a little part of it with all of you.
My life hasn't been what you'd call "perfect" but who's life on this Earth is? I was a struggling young mind, talented in many respects, but I could never grasp my ability.. and would shy away from competition and hard work. I'd always sink back into my 'corner' and never do anything with effort.
My life took a swing when I met my first serious girlfriend, I'll call "Roxy", and it was a big shock for me. She was interested in the Occult and Wiccan practices. I didn't think much of it considering I wasn't a Christian - this started 3 years ago - it was a pretty long relationship for my age.
My life was literally chained to the floor, and all these "Occultish" things were really leaving us both drained, depressed, and it kept us away from important things in life - like our education for instance. My life was teetering on the brink of collapse, although I couldn't recognize it, and everyone around me was "running away". I wish I had seen why, but we seldom do, that's just the way life is sometimes.
It was about a year ago when everything broke apart. My girlfriend decided she didn't 'need' me anymore and dumped me, while still doing Witchcraft and the like. This was something I never expected.. and I literally caused a domino effect in every aspect of my life. I was truly torn by all of this. Just when you think everything is gone.. something emerges from the ashes.. and you realize it was with you the whole time... and that thing.. it was the love of God for me.
He loved me before I even knew him, he cared for me when I literally acted as if I hated him. I was a Child of Darkness, but he knew that I was worth loving and watching over. Isn't it amazing how much God loves us? I think so. Well back to my story.
I ended up in a Religion Class in my High School, it was the only class that wasn't full and I needed credits. This is where I first learned about Jesus Christ. It didn't 'click' at first, but it was a start. Needless to say that, it worked.. and worked beautifully - God knew all along.
I eventually was intrigued enough to ask the question, "Are you real God?" and "Why do you love me..?". I asked God to reveal himself to me, so I could see for myself that this was the right path. Guess what? It worked! I recieved a Bible in the mail, no return address, and I knew that this was my sign. I felt a warmth in my heart that I had never felt before in my whole entire life. Nothing could even come close on this Earth to what I felt, I loved it greatly. I decided around that time that Jesus was for me, and I accepted him into my heart.
It's been 5 months since that night, and I'm studying his Word, going to Church, and helping my family see the truth. When I became Born Again, everything changed for me.. I started to see things differently.. and I liked it.
Thanks for reading this, and have a great day/afternoon/or night - whenever you are reading this!
God Bless.
