How did you learn about Jesus

I was born and raised in a christian home by two wonderful and loving parents. Every night they would read Bible stories to me about the adventures of the Old Testament, Jesus and His followers, and Paul’s travels. It was one of those nights when I was about five that I had a sudden realization of just how long eternity was. The thought of me spending all of that without Jesus was terrifying. It wasn’t so much the idea of judgment that got me, but the idea of being completely separated from someone so perfect and loving forever. So I prayed with my parents and surrendered my life to Jesus that night.

Favorite verse

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. – Proverbs 3:5-8
