Depressed, partying and bad influences

I lived a miserable life to the point where I wanted to end my life.

I use to drink, sneak out late at night to hang out with cousins and friends behind my parents back, I use to steal, go out clubbing, and accompany those who smoked. The crowd that I was involved with made me even worse because I started to misbehave and later developed a bad character towards my family. I wouldn’t speak or even open up to anyone and ended up isolating myself in the room. I was depressed, lonely, always looked down on myself and thought i wasn’t worthy of life anymore. So I had thoughts to kill myself and even tried, but by Gods mercy I never succeeded.

As years went by I came to know the UCKG through my parents who saw it broadcasting on tv and so I was invited to go on a Tuesday afternoon. When i came, everything that the man of God was saying was as if they knew what i went through. From there I started to come more often. I heard the Word being preached in such a way that i've never been taught before and decided to surrender my life to God.

Today I can say I no longer live a life of darkness. I am no longer depressed because my Jesus lives in me and He makes my life worth living.
