For years now I have not been following Jesus; I was prone to anger and lust at a very young age since I am 13 currently. However, that should not be an excuse; I still sinned. After grade 5 I repented and found Jesus. At that time I felt truly saved and had peace. But when I was entering grade 6, I fell from my faith because I was too distracted by school. It then continued through grade 7. It was just now, after grade 7, I realized how far I fell; it was now I focused more on Jesus and his word. It was now I felt again the peace and love I felt after grade 5. I have seen his fruits blossom within me, encouraging me to know more of his teachings. I hope and pray no one else loses motivation and purpose; I hope we all maintain our faith and not lose motivation. I pray for anyone seeing this to continue following God and not waver in his/her faith and to put others before ourselves. To fight temptation and to walk in the spirit. As I approach grade 8, I wish for anyone reading this to pray for me to not lose motivation just like how I did during grade 6 and grade 7. I love all who took the time to read this absolute monster of a paragraph, and that really shows your love for me and others. Thank you; may God be always with you through your journey.
