My first toke of marijuana as a teenager sent me spiraling into rebellion. By fifteen, I had tried nearly every drug there was — opium, cocaine, LSD. By seventeen, I wasn't just using, I was dealing — moving close to five pounds of marijuana a week, plus hundreds of hits of LSD, speed, and cocaine.
I had tried everything the world had to offer, but there was a vacuum in my heart only God could fill. The moment I gave Him my life, I found a peace I had never known and I have never been the same.
If you're reading this and you're still searching, the answer is Jesus. Repent, turn from your sin, and give Him your life. He's waiting to meet you the same way He met me.
Pray this with me today:
Heavenly Father, I admit that I have sinned, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and rose again. I turn away from my old life and open the door of my heart to You. Be my Savior, be my Lord, and make me new. In Jesus' name, amen.
