POV: You're tired of all the disappointments and hardships
A Short Story that would help:
On the 2nd of June 2022, I landed my first online job. It was a writing gig for an American coach living in Atlanta.
I was required to submit 4 articles every week for which I was being paid $80.
At that time, this was approximately N50,000 and since I was being paid weekly that meant in a month, I made about N200,000.
Now as a teenager, this was me living the dream. I had so much money that I didn't know what to do with it. I could afford everything I needed & I bought whatever I wanted.
You're probably reading this and thinking “she must have been very happy”....
Well, sadly the reverse was the case. I was miserable!
I had everything a 19 yr old could dream of and yet I felt an emptiness that cannot be described with words.
I was buying everything buyable and yet the more I bought, the unhappier I got. I was tired because my life lacked purpose and direction.
Several times, I'd converse with my friends and with frustration, I'd ask, “Guy, is this all there is to life?”
Eventually, I fell into depression. I even contemplated suicide many times, but I just couldn't go through with it.
In that emptiness, I started to cry out for “something”, I started to search for “something” that could fill me up from the inside out.
I explored many options but nothing was ever enough. I would indulge those frivolities, feel good for a while and then go back to feeling miserable.
It became a vicious cycle until he spoke to me….
His words were simple. He said, “Come to me!”
Like the 19 yr old me, you can probably relate to the emptiness and unhappiness that comes with living a life you don't enjoy. A life that doesn't satisfy. A life void of purpose.
Like the 19 yr old me, you have also probably tried multiple things, in a bid to fill up the hole in your heart, to bring warmth to your soul and give you a sense of fulfilment.
Nothing has worked so far and I hate to tell you this, but honestly, nothing will work! You carry too much depth to be satisfied by any of these mundane experiences.
Just like I was, your soul is also searching for something. Something that completes you and brings you joy and peace.
In August of that same 2022, I found my peace and satisfaction and you can find yours too.
The “something” you seek is actually Someone. He is a person and his name is Jesus.
It is not a coincidence that you're reading this today. He allowed this get to you because he wants to speak to you.
What he wants to say is simple:
"And Jesus said, Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Matt.11.28 (MSB)
Beloved, there's only one person who understands what you've been through and is capable of healing & helping you get out this dire situation.
That person is Jesus and today, through this material you're reading now, he is extending a hand of friendship to you.
He is not expecting you to be perfect, he is not expecting you to understand everything. He is only asking that you have the courage to just say “YES”
So today I am asking, Will you come to Jesus?
I advise you to say YES.
It will be the best decision you've ever made.
--------------------------------------
If you've decided to say yes to Jesus, this is what you should know:
Some years ago, this Jesus came on earth to die for your sins and after 3 days, he was raised back to life.
He loves you and wants a relationship with you and the first step to achieving this is getting Born Again.
It's simple! I want you to believe all you have read in your heart and now confess this prayer out loud:
“Dear Heavenly Father, I believe in Jesus Christ, your son. I believe he died and was raised again for me. I believe He's alive today and I confess with my mouth that from today, Jesus is the lord of my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit. I'm a child of God. I am Born Again. Glory to God!”
Congratulations! You just became a part of the family of God. Yes, just like that!
