Are We Really Willing to Change Completely??

All my life, I've known how I suppose to live and for the majority of it I did so. But there are so many useless world values that get in the way of the most important value you can possess, faith in God. Somewhere along the way I lost my faith and didn't know how to get it back. I've spent the last 5 years wondering around this Earth doing things the way I want to do them. Until recently I never really truly realized how unhappy I was. So once again I tried to fix it my way, not God's way. I tried to fill the voids in my heart with worldy things, all of which I'm not proud of. Much to my dismay none of it made me truly happy. I think somewhere in the back of my mind I knew what it was going to take to fix this. But, as humans we are stubborn, and I'm guilty as charged, I did not want to give up the lifestyle I had been leading and the group of people I'd been with for so long. But one day after listening to a guest speak, it hit me like a brick wall. I wasn't happy in life because I'd left the most important person out of it, GOD!!!

I think sometimes we have to step back and take a look at the big picture in life. What are all these things people are trying to accomplish in their life going to matter in the end after were gone? People forget to look at this factor in life. I'm guilty of not sacraficing what I had to give to God when he gave to ultimate sacrafice to me so I could live. I have lived my life more selfishly than any person I know for the last 5 years. One month ago today I redicated my life to God and have been happy ever sense. I'm not saying there will be joy in your life for now on, it is a process and it will be hard and times and you will slip. But you have to keep in mind what truly matters in the end. So in telling this story for those of you who aren't happy out there and can't quite seem to figure out why, maybe this is your inspiration.
