I grew up in a Christian based home, learning about God.  And although I knew a lot about Him, I did not really know him at all.  Just like everyone else, I was created with a need to be loved and accepted.  Instead of going to God for fulfilment, I looked elsewhere.  I couldn't find the answer anywhere.  I met a girl and used her love and compassion to sustain me, but still I wasn’t satisfied.  So I turned to whiskey.  This did take the pain away for the moment, but after it wore off I would feel worse than before.  The only remedy for this dilemma was to drink consistently without stopping.  Still finding no relief, I added prescription pills to my diet.  This combination was devastating, and I became very depressed and suicidal.  I had no hope.  I thought the only way out of this pain was death.

During one particularly low spell, however, my wife took matters into her own hands and left with my daughter.  After a few days, my alcohol and drug filled mind finally realized that they were gone; something was wrong.  This woke me up enough to accept my pastor’s recommendation for Teen Challenge.  Praise God!  I’m seeking after Jesus, my needs are being met!  God loved me so much that He sent his only Son to take all my depression and loneliness upon Himself and to die for me!  All praise and honour go to Him!  he has set me free!  No longer do I need to disappear.  No longer do I feel the aching emptiness.  He has filled me with peace!  He has filled me with joy!  He is my strong tower!  He is my refuge!  He is my strength!  he is a river of living water; a fresh, bubbling spring within me!  He has given me eternal life!

“I have called you back from the ends of the earth, saying ‘You are my servant.’ For I have chosen you and will not throw you away.  Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.  Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you.  i will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”  Isaiah 41:9-10
