In 1987 at the age of 23, I was seriously wondering why I was living. I asked myself the question Am I just here to die?. I started to ask a friend at work some spiritual questions. One day he asked me this question, If you were standing before God, and He asked you why should I let you into my heaven, what would you say?. I said to myself, send me down, I am a bad person.

A few days later my friend confronted me with another question. He said Tom, would you like to accept Jesus as your Savior? There was a slight hope inside me that Jesus had a better life for me. I had nothing in my life worth holding on to, so I surrendered my life to Jesus. I knew it ment that whatever Jesus wanted me to do, I would have to do.

Today I have full confidence to approach the world. With Jesus in charge of my life, whom shall I fear?
