?As a child I had a very acute sense of right and wrong. As I got older, when I did anything sinful I cried for long periods and asked God to save me. My parents didn’t really teach me about God but my mom taught me bedtime prayers from a young age so I would talk to God all the time.

?The older I got I began telling crafty lies and exploring pornographic material after stumbling upon the wrong channel one night as a little girl. I deeply felt these things were wrong but I just couldn’t stop. In my soul I knew I needed help and I knew God was the key but I just would not choose Him.
I later found out that God has already wired knowledge of Himself in our souls to give us guidance, but though we want to do good and serve God evil is present in us before He saves us. Romans 7:20-23

?By age 19, I was so tired of the mountain of guilt and brokenness that came from displeasing God that I said, ‘God I am going to hell if You don’t save me.’ About two weeks later I received the Holy Ghost and I was unrecognizable to myself. I didn’t need to think about being honest and I had no longing for anything that fuelled sexual lust. Why? Jesus was now in me and He was the difference. My God! I had received His holy and perfect life to live out; having power over sin and the freedom to please God in everything. Amazing! 1John 5:11-12

?God wants us all to receive the gift of eternal life and if you have it, to see that there is a treasure you have found that people need. The pleasures of the world are part of an illusion that looks good but is deadly. Jesus came so that you and I . . . that we may have life eternal. John 10:10

**Scriptures in Focus*
? I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.’Romans 7:21

?The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.’John 10:10

*Reflection*
Do you see that it is receiving Christ’s life that really frees your soul from desiring to sin and gives you power to live a holy life?
