JESUS LOVES YOU

Well to start off with my name is Crystal Holt. I am 15 years old. I live in Georgia, and I love my life and everyone in it. Your very welcome to jump right in. :) If you would like. Life is pretty simple don't you think? You live and die. Thats all right? Well, no. Thats wrong. If you live your life for God then your life will be not only more full and vibrant, but much more enjoyable. :)

Just because I said the name that some people do not like "God" keep reading. I promise when you finish this you will change if you allow yourself because this is not me speaking. I am trying my hardest to let God speak through me. So continue to read. For starters, I just want to tell you a few things about my old life. I'll start at the beginning.

On December 17, 1993. I was born. From birth I was brought up in church. Going to church was not something I chose to do. It was more like a order. Like "sir yes sir" haha Well anyways, my church life was very boring. I never grew in "faith" with God. I was just kinda there.

At age 8 all of my friends went down in front of the church and told the preacher that they wanted to get saved. So, I was like. "Man I wanna do it too." So I did. I got baptized and everything so yeah. I thought that I was on my way to heaven for sure. Well what I did not know is that I was no where near being saved.

At age 12. I kinda felt like I was not living like a christian should have been living. So while I was
off with my youth group I redidcated my life tp God. So once again I told people that I was going to change but I did not. My life had not changed I still continued on my bad walk. I did what the crowd did, and nothing what so ever changed.

But now at age 15. I know what it feels like to be saved. For real!! I went to North Carolina July 6- 10, 2009. Actually when we left that Monday morning I was thinking. "ugh!" I do not want to go an this trip. All we are going to do is go to church all day for a whole week. They are going make us read the Bible all the time. Its going be so boring, but NO!! Listen to this.

We left at 5:30 in the morning got there around 3:00 that afternoon. Well the first thing we do is take a picture then unload all our clothes and go to our dorm rooms. :) Well that night at the evening worship service we got to meet our speacker for the week. And I LOVED HIM!! He screamed at the top of his lungs. It was sooo cool. He actually could keep my attention. No preacher had ever been able to do that.

Well as the week continued on Tuesday night was good. I learned to love God first then family, friends, and everyone. :) I shared with my youth group that night. That I thought I was in lve with my current boyfriend, and pshh.!! no i wasn't. You will never know what love is until you love God first!!

Wednesday night I can truthfully say is the best day of my life. I will never forget July 8, 2009. The day that I fully gave my life to Jesus Christ. I will never go back to the old me. It is for real this time. I love Jesus sooooo much. I thank God every day for sending his son to die for a lowly sinner like me. Did I deserve it? NO! Do you? NO! But, Jesus loved us so much that he gave up his on life for us, but he rose on the 3rd day sooo yeah!! I PRAISE A LIVING LORD!! :)
I want to hit the highlights of thee message that Pastor Adrian preached on the night my life changed for the better :) He spoke about 4 chairs and each and everyone is in one of the four.

• The 1st Chair- Someone who is on fire for God! They put him first in each and everything that they do. They eat, sleep, and breathe JESUS CHRIST!! :) But this person is not sitting in this chair they are seeking to get closer and closer to GOD!! :)
• The 2nd Chair- The is a person who has been saved. And its for real, but they are just sitting in this chair and have no lead way of getting up. This person is better known as a hypocrite. OOOO yeah!! (I'm gone do the 4th Chair, then the 3rd you will see why.)
• The 4th Chair- This is a sinner. We all are sinners, but whenever we get saved we are washed by the blood of Jesus. And then we can ask for forgiveness of our sins, therefore if we do slip up. We can go to God about our problems, but this person in Chair 4 knows that they are not saved and never have been. Now..
• The 3rd Chair- This is the most dangerous chair to ever be in. This is a person who thinks that he or she is in Chair 2. They believe that they have been saved. They have possibly already been baptized, and possibly redidcated their life and everything. This Chair is very confusing, but if you are here you know it. I was in this chair. This CHAIR is going to hell and does not even realize it. They can walk the walk and talk the talk but THEY ARE NOT SAVED. They have tried to do it on their on, and it is not working. They have been faking their salvation their whole life and they have even convinced themselves that they are saved. This is why it is soooooo dangerous. Dont live like this anymore. I promise if you give your life to God I promise you will not ever have to doubt your salvation. Jesus is waiting the question is are you willing to give him your life. :)

I hope this can help you. You can contact me if you would like. I would be glad to pray for you :)

God Bless You!! :)
