"I spent 23 years of my life looking to fill a void that only God could fill. One of the ways that I tried to fill this void was with religion. I was left dissatisfied. It was only when I met Jesus that my life truly changed. I had always thought that I had to meet a certain standard in order to be a Christian. What I learned though is that Jesus met that standard for me and all he wanted was me; now all I want is Him. He has transformed my heart into a dwelling place of the Almighty God. As I die to my own desires, He gives me His. I don't strive to be a good person, I strive to die to myself so that God can work through me. Living a spirit-filled life is not, as I once thought, unattainable. You can experience this as well. God has an amazing plan for your life and desires give you a new heart and a new life. All you have to do is surrender to Him."
