Summary

I was a child marked by deep painβ€”an abuse at age 12 that left me isolated and filled with shame. That isolation drove me into rebellion and eventually into the clutches of drug addiction. For years, I wandered as a prodigal son, desperately searching for love and affirmation where none existed. Then everything changed when I had a powerful encounter with Jesus. His love, healing, and acceptance broke through the darkness of my past. I turned to church, began studying the Bible, and experienced a transformation that restored my identity. Today, I live in the fullness of God’s love, having been rescued from my orphaned spirit and empowered to walk in redemption. My journey isn’t just about overcoming addictionβ€”it’s about discovering who I am in Christ and living as a beloved son of God.
