I began smoking, drinking alcohol and using drugs, all before I was a teenager. The attitude that I had towards life gave me a complete lack of respect for others and their possessions. The drug and alcohol use only got heavier as I got older. In my 20’s I became addicted to methamphetamine and even began using needles to inject the drugs. I had reached the point where this world and its ways had taken everything from me, including a 10 yr. marriage and a relationship with my kids. I had tried everything that I knew to stop using, but I couldn’t figure out how.
It was near this time in my life that a friend of mine, who saw my life was falling apart, began to tell me about Yeshua and how much he loved me and cared about me. He told me Yeshua had a greater plan for my life. I had never known about Yeshua and didn’t have any church experience. I felt this Yeshua he talked about might work for him, but my problems were much bigger than that. I needed something much more real to solve them. As time went on things continued to get worse and worse, to the point that I just didn’t know what to do anymore. I felt as if my back was against the wall and something was going to have to give. I had tried everything I knew to get my life together. If something didn’t happen soon death or prison were right around the corner.
Then I realized I had tried everything, but Yeshua. That was when I got down on my knees and asked Yeshua to come into my life. I knew that I couldn’t do it alone, I needed Him and his forgiveness. At that moment He came into my life and has been with me ever since. I have to thank my Father in heaven everyday for what he has done in my life. Since the day I asked Yeshua to come into my life, He has put my family back together and delivered me from drug and alcohol addiction. He has just totally restored my life and my heart. I have been drug and alcohol free for 23 months. I even quit smoking after an almost 25 year habit.
It is all because of Yeshua. I said earlier, when my friend told me about Yeshua I thought I needed something more real in my life. What I know today is, there is nothing more real than Yeshua. He is a real friend, a real savior and He is the real answer to our problems. G-d’s word says Yeshua is the way, the truth and the life. Today I believe that with all my heart.
I just want to say if you have problems in your life today, no matter what they are, I want you to know that Yeshua is real. He loves you more than you will ever know. Don’t let this world lie to you and tell you that Yeshua is not there. Just believe and call on his name and He is faithful to answer your call. I never knew Yeshua before the day I called on Him, but since that day it has been like I’ve known Him forever. He’s the best friend that I’ve ever had, and He wants to be that same friend to you too. If you don’t know Him today, please don’t put Him off any longer. Whatever is wrong in your life, He is the answer. Just trust in Him, I’m so glad that I did. I will be praying that whoever reads this will take this opportunity to ask Yeshua into their life. It would be the greatest choice you’ll ever make. G-d bless you.
Your friend,
Chuck
