Summary

SummaryI grew up in a devoted Christian home, attending church and doing Bible studies with my parents and siblings, but to be honest, my heart wasnโ€™t in itโ€”I craved praise and approval more than a relationship with God. ๐Ÿ˜” Everything changed during a ninth-grade summer camp when the pastor spoke about sinโ€™s ugliness before God, and I felt a genuine conviction that led me to repent. A little later, someone taught me that faith isnโ€™t about how I feel but about Christโ€™s finished work on the crossโ€”an exchange of my sins for His righteousness. ๐Ÿ™ Since then, my outward life may look similar, but my heart has completely shifted: I read Scripture to know the One who loves me, I pray because I long for intimacy with Him, and I serve because I want to bless others just as God has blessed me. โค๏ธ Now, even when no one is watching, my motivations revolve around God alone, and I am filled with joy and purpose. ๐Ÿ™Œ
