Finding Christ

• Ever been lost and needed directions, but simply didn’t want to stop and ask for help or guidance? Well that was me for many years. I needed something that only one person

  could fix. My mother of my father couldn’t even help me, only Jesus Christ. Finding

  Jesus Christ has brought me Love, Faith and Peace. My life has been an interesting

  journey over the years and I don’t know where I would be today if I would not have

  found Jesus Christ.

  I have sought love in all the wrong places, until I found Jesus Christ I never knew

  what love really was. According to scripture, God is love. So when I found him, I found

  love. Now this isn’t a counterfeit type of love, this is a genuine love that couldn’t

  measure up to any other type of love. This is a type of love that someone literally dies for

  you and pays the price for your sins type of love. I found love on a Sunday morning

  sitting in one of the most unbearably hard wooden pews at my church. The temperature in

  the sanctuary had to be below freezing; I could see the ice cycles hanging from the

  window panes. As I sat in total discomfort trying to listen to the pastor preach over the

  chattering of my teeth clinching together from the cold. I found focus towards the end of

  the message where he said that there was a man named Jesus who died for us and shed

  his blood for our sins so that we could have eternity with him forever and that he loved

  us. Not to mention that we were forgive for all the wrong doings and all the rebellious

  days that we’ve had. I was in total awe. At the moment of all this and me trying to retain
• it all, a feeling came over me that was extremely hard to explain. I felt a peace. A feeling

  I’ve never felt before; I knew it was spiritual. It was almost like a newborn baby being

  held by his mothers warm arms tucked away close to her heart. I knew that day I would

  never be the same. That day I found love.

  After finding love, there was faith that I obtained. Faith had to come with time.

  Faith is defined as complete trust in someone or something. Well I have to say with over

  the years after finding Christ; he has proven to me that I could have complete trust in him

  and only him. There was a time that I got really sick and I didn’t know if I would life or

  die. I began to call all my family members and let them know that I loved them. The

  doctor told me that I had a terminal illness that caused me to only have about three

  months to live. I was totally astonished. But I remembered that I had a savior that could

  make the impossible possible. I remembered that I had a savior that could make a way

  out of no way. So I began to pray and trust in Jesus to do all the work and I rested. I

  believed that if God could raise Jesus from the dead, that he could work on my behalf and

  heal my body. I was home one afternoon taking a nap and I received a phone called that

  almost gave me a heart attack with the ear-piercing ringtone that was loud enough to hear

  clearly at a live New York Jets football game. I picked up the phone and it was my doctor.

  My heart fell to my stomach because this was the day that I would get my test results

  back from my MRI. He told me calmly that my tests were back and asked was this a good

  time to go over my results. I immediately began to pray and I heard a quiet still voice say,

  “Have faith, trust me.” My heart came back up to my chest from my stomach and I

  quickly said, “yes sir, please proceed”. The doctor told me that the results came back

  negative and I ended up having no illness, no issues. I was completely A-OK. From that
• day forth, I knew that no matter what was coming against me; having faith would be the

  ultimate option.

  Finally, I have found peace with Christ. When I say peace, it’s a peace that

  surpasses all understanding. There would be times all hell would break loose in my life,

  but in the midst of the storm I had peace. In the midst of World War 3 with my family, I

  had peace. The time I was told I only had three months to live, there was peace. The word

  peace is defined as having freedom from disturbance. In finding Christ, I have also found

  peace.

  Peace and faith have been less challenging qualities to have throughout this

  journey. I’m a work in progress with mastering love. I still find it hard to love people who

  are evil to me. Finding Christ has been the most beneficial affair that I’ve encountered.

  I’ve learned so much in this walk, yet there is so much more to learn. I plan on staying

  the course with this amazing friend I have named Jesus. I don’t need anybody else.
