Hello,

The key to truth and life is to focus on Jesus Christ--His nature, character, power and strength. He is the one that conquered sin and death. For anyone who accepts Him as thier personal friend and savior; God will begin to give His destiny, fulfilment and purpose. Don't look at other people but to Jesus.

I am not young any more and have been through my share of disillusionments concerning looking to other people as examples. Jesus is the only one gives the truth and power for living life in this world. This all about Jesus Chist and your relationship with Him.

That is what is missing in all other religions-- a personal relationship with a living God who cares and can intervene in our lives. I write this not because I have been taught or brainwashed but because Jesus is real in my life... How do I know my spiritual connection is with Jesus? By confirmation of the scriptures in living my life through His power...not mine. No matter what happens in my circumstances...Jesus is with me...giving me His strength and power.

If you have any questions, send me an email and we can communicate futher.

Connie
