“I’ve wanted to get baptized for years and now I have been. Three years ago I was really depressed and struggled with social anxiety. I got to a point where I was just tired of fighting and relying on my own self to get out of the depression and anxiety. I always believed in Jesus, but there is a difference between believing in Him and having a relationship with Him. One day I decided that I was tired of doing it all alone, so I cried out to Him and asked Him to come into my life. It hasn’t been perfect. I’ve grown to know Him, to love Him, and understand Him more. There is so much that speaks to you whenever you read the bible or scripture, it is the Living Word. It affects people differently when they read it. One scripture that I can relate to is John 11:33-36:
“When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled. And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!”
Jesus was human and He felt emotion like we do. It brings a lot of comfort when you realize that Jesus Christ can relate to us and our brokenness. He understands how we feel. My advice to people is, as crazy as it may sound, give Jesus a try. That was what changed my life! My name is Jerri Lynn and I surrender.”
