When I was about 14 I started thinking seriously about the meaning of my life. I was in a very happy family and had everything I needed but somehow didn’t feel happy deep down.

I had also been brought up to know about God and the Bible and I thought I was a Christian but then I started wondering whether I really was. I looked around me at other people in an attempt to understand what people were living for. I wondered whether I could find ultimate fulfilment in sport, television, friends, relationships but realised that all these things would let me down.

I also realised that there was a problem inside of me - I was self centred and had uncleanness in my heart - I realised I couldn’t get rid of this by myself.

I then met some people that were very normal but were also every excited about their relationship with Jesus. This made me realise that it was Jesus I was really looking for. I asked Him to come into my life fully, to change me and take away my sin. He took me ay my word and began to do just that.

All I can say is that that was the best thing that I have ever done because I have seen that my life only has meaning when I am rightly related to God. The only way I could get rid of my sin was by confessing it to Him and receiving His forgiveness.
