MY STORY

Hello! I am the main writer of this blog Wings of Heaven. I have always loved writing and writing is my passion. But next to writing my real passion is Jesus! And i thought that i would share my story.

In this blog i have written about being a christian and all that. But i have never written why. Why do i write about Jesus? Why is christianity so important to me? Well, to answer that, i need to tell you my story.

My name is April Hope, i love writing and reading and when i was six, jesus saved my life! I was born into a christian family who loved me, i was a firework a bit like my little sister now. I was wild and i was good at disobeying. I had very bad behavior problems and those behavior problems only got worse.

My parents thought it was only behaviour but one day that theory changed. A friend of theirs said that he had seen such behavior before and it was spiritual. So he gave mum and dad a prayer and they started praying it over me. A month later i hit a block point. I had a very hard day, so bad that i visually remember throwing chairs, tearing through the room. It was bad. I don't fully remember but my mum remembers and she said that for me it all came out. How i had tried to be a good person and my mum explained the gospel to me. How no one is good except God

And that changed me, i asked jesus into my life. Praying that i want him to be my boss was hard, it was a spiritual battle. But once i had, i was changed. I was saved! The depression, the pain was gone. For as long as i could remember before that moment i did not remember being happy. Until i asked jesus into my life.

Did asking jesus into my life change everything? No, i still struggle, sometimes i feel like i am a failure, sometimes i feel depressed. But because of jesus, i don't have to battle it alone. Because of jesus, i am set free of all chains. There are only two religions... God or mans. And there are only two sides... The devils or Gods. Who's side are u on?

Being a christian doesn't mean i will never face pain. But it means i will be able to face it. When i was little, i had no one. I felt life wasnt worth living, but now i know with all my being that i do have a purpose! Life has meaning and i have joy. I have faced many obstacles, i have lost friends, i have failed, i have lost the battle before, but because of jesus... Never the war. Thats why i need jesus. Because of this... I write. I write about jesus. I wouldn't be here today.

No one is good, no one. The bible clearly states this. But it also states everyone has sinned. I am a sinner that makes me worthy of death Romans 6:23 states, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" that is amazing! We all deserve death. But jesus came and died for us. This world is sinful. Not because God wanted it. But because what Adam and Eve did in Genesis 3

Why doesn't God do something? Because he gives us all freewill. Bad things happen because their are bad people in the world who do bad things. God did do something he sent jesus to die for us and to be an example. He made us. We are the difference makers! One of my favourite verses in the bible is John 16:33 which states "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Let this be an example to you. There is hope. Even in a world if sickness and death. He has overcome all!
