I’ve always gone to church for as long as I can remember and I have not really, until this year, understood what it truly means to be a Christian and have true faith in God. I know that every day I sin—even thinking something sinful is a sin. 

I need Jesus in my life every second of every minute of every day of every year. I need God in my life and the Holy Spirit who will stay with me my entire life from the second I am writing this until the second I die. 

Now that I’m a Christian, I have noticed a lot of changes in the choices I make every day towards others and myself. I really hope that as I get older, my faith and love in God will grow stronger and better than it is now and that on the day when I die, I will be with him in heaven forever.
