Beyond Sunsets

For as long as I could remember I felt a void in my heart, like something important was missing. For the longest time I searched for something to fill the void. Nothing I found seemed to fill it, except one thing. I had my time "partying," all the while thinking it filled that void. All the while I went to church and thought I had a good relationship with God. Then I went to Heaven's Gates and Hell's Flame and found what I needed; I needed to invite Jesus into my life. Just reading the Bible and praying wasn't enough-I needed to ask him into my life. At that moment I broke into tears as a wave of emotion swept over me. I fell to my knees and prayed with all my heart the sinner's prayer and asked Jesus into my heart. Since then the void is gone and I am at my happiest. I no longer have a need to party or all the things that society tells us is "fun." The joy and happiness I now have is because of Jesus, and these poems are about Him and all He has brought to my life.
