I am here to tell you that about two years ago,I was full of hate from my past history in my life.When I was about eight years old I was abused(meaning that I was beaten with a belt buckle and bitten on my back)from my alcoholic stepfather(no longer in my life now),I also witnessed my mother(she was pregnant at the time) being beaten from this man which led to my sister being stillborn.This crushed me very much because my only sister I will never become the BIG protective brother I always wanted to be.So I had a lot of pent up hatred towards my ex-stepfather who hurt my mother and I plus took my only sisters life,I thought that if I ever saw my ex-stepfather now I would confront him and probably take his life if I could.When my grandparents passed away two years ago(both were a big influences in my life)which made me think about the thoughts of hatred I had were so strong that the DEVIL wanted to take my soul and at that time I decided to CHANGE,so I gave my life to the Lord Jesus because he forgave(John 3:16) me,I forgive my ex-stepfather for he did not have control of his life the devil did.So I Thank You Lord for changing my life.(I was baptized December 27th,2009)
