How I came to know the lord

          So I'm going to talk about how I came to know the lord :) My curiosity in christianity started when I first asked my friend what was the difference between catholics and christians , after he answered my question he invited me to his church . Well , you see , my family doesn't really have a religion and I was afraid what my parents would say when I told them I was going to go to my friend's church . I asked them anyway and surprisingly they said okay . I went to my friend's church and everyone was so friendly and open to a newcomer like me and I felt welcomed there . From then on I started to attend the church weekly and even went for a christian conference . I remember while at the christian conference I told god , " I'm going to try my best to be the christian you want me to be , please help me through this journey that I'm going to take , I'm going to place all my faith in you and I hope I would not be disappointed ." well something like that and from then on my faith grew and now I'm a christian , I've made many mistakes and sinned against god but god is a merciful god and he will forgive the mistakes and sins that we have made . This is my story on how I came to know the lord and I hope it'll encourage you people . There is a collection of my favorite verses above , feel free to check it out :)

John 14:27"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
