HOW LIFE CAN BE INTERESTING WHEN YOU FINALLY ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOR.

I couldn't believe living a life in Christ could be as  sweet as i can think of. I have live my life being a Muslim for 18 years until i move to a Christian orphanage (City Of Refuge Ministries) who are really showing the love of Christ to anyone they come into contact with, when i first got there everything i hear is about Jesus even the little ones talk about Jesus too. I knew Jesus but i knew him to be a prophet as Muhammad but what i heard at city of refuge about  Jesus was totally different, they keep saying that Jesus is  the son of God and he died and rose on the third but we Muslim don't believe that he died rose on the third day because Muhammad died and he never rose so how can Jesus die and rose from the death, so i kept wondering is this Jesus they always talk about different from the Jesus i know but the answer was no, it is the same Jesus but i really didn't know him well. The first day i went to church it was the same thing that i keep hearing about Jesus. One day i was just there and i said to myself why don't i receive Jesus and i will also be saved as others were saved through Him, so i made my mind to accept Jesus as my lord and personal savior, after i truly prayer from my heart that i want Jesus to come and live in me, i started having this desire to know him more and also alot of things started to change in my life, things that i used to do that was ungodly was totally out of me and i didn't even have the desire to do it anymore and i thank God for that. Life in Jesus is sweet more than the sweetest thing on earth. Am so glad am living my life with Christ. What I love most about God's love and grace is this: It endures. When I chose to sit in darkness, it pursues me and doesn't let me stay there. It satisfies. When I'm craving or longing for attention, it fills the void. It brings hope. When all hope seems lost, it reminds me that hope in God never leads to disappointment and not all is lost. It empowers. When filled with pride, it humbles me to the point of surrender so it's no longer me striving, but God working through me. It perfects. When I think I can never change, it reminds me that I'm being renewed day by day and transformed from one degree of glory to the next
