I've met drug dealers that are now missionaries and prostitutes that are now strong women of God and gang bangers that have been saved and become church leaders. Even atheist and pagans that are now living for God! One thing no one can deny is the awesome change in our lives through the Joy of salvation. I know if I hadn't met Jesus I'd be in prison by now. How has Jesus changed you?

Amen, I did drugs and drank, could not keep a job, was a total wreck, God forgave me of my sins. I am now married to a preacher, I sing for the Lord and we minister together every time we get the chance. Very soon we will be recording a cd of Southern Gospel music,
God is wonderful, he has healed me twice, protected my son from danger and given me peace that passes understanding, I would not be alive if God had not saved me when he did.

My first six years of life involved several people's homes, name changes, neglect and etc. At age 6, I stayed with my Grandmama for 6 months and learned of the beauty and joy of God and the Kingdom and people of this world, no matter who they are, will make mistakes, sometimes over and over again and God still loves and forgives them. Then Grandma became ill and I returned to my first foster home. By then the man had become a very cruel and angry alcoholic who vented his rage at me all day long. I had responsibility far too great for a child but you know what....I survived because of what my Grandma had taught me about the Godhead and heaven. I never had to walk through the difficulties alone because my Savior walked beside me. He would have His beauty and love and little miracles every day that would cheer me on. I was told by a counselor that for what I went through they were very surprised I wasn't dead or an addict. I give God the glory for being there for me and seeing me through. My experience gave me a tender heart for all people. When one knows hardship it make the beauty of life that much more beautiful. It is not God's fault that the people in my life made selfish and negative choices that affected me. He is always there to give us rest and peace if only we would accept it. I am looking forward to Resurrection Morning when I will meet my loved ones and my Heavenly Dad and the mansion He has prepared for me....yippee. I am homeward bound...Mmm

Oh, the Lord delivers me daily but it was bad. So bad only God knows the whole truth and the concept of no condemnation still haunts my life. There is no condemnation in Christ (Rom 8:1) and that sometimes is a hard pill to swallow, but a pill I have to take to move forward in God.
I lost my house, I lost my husband, I lost self respect, I lost the admiration of family members, I lost my dreams, even after I came back to Him but I stayed faithful, diligently attended church, read my bible, prayed, WORSHIPED Him, taught my children about Him, yearn for him to convict my heart when I wander from His will.
He gave me another home, another husband, more children then I know what to do with LOL, more family members (like minded at that), did I mention Husband ( hes not just another one, hes an awesome one, not perfect, but perfect as in ultra caring, patient, loving, handsome and loves the Lord) and soon money won't be a problem anymore either.
He is so awesome and I was so so bad and he still loves me and gives me good things.
Mercy and Grace...:)

That's awesome! I used to be a confused, fearful woman. I am now assured of who I am in Jesus Christ, joyful and confident of my future.

Gang Bangers? Ewww
And their church leaders now? Ouch
I'm just saying, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with that

Oh okay, to answer the question, I have become so happy now that I realize that Jesus is not the son of a god nor do sky daddies exist.

Jesus is the first God (or aspect of God) I've studied that was abused by his followers.
