Jasmine's Place Issue No. 7 - September/October 2013 | Page 25

When did you become a Christian and what attracted you to Jesus? I grow up in a home and church that led me towards Jesus. So I welcomed Jesus to lead my life and be my #1 Hero at the tender age of 7 or so. Through the course of my life, I've learned more about what that means and how that looks. What continues to attract me to Jesus daily is his overwhelming unconditional love for me and our hurting world, the safeness of his arms, and the constance of His character. I also get an absolute kick out of His sheer awesomeness. I love seeing the work of His hands in a sweet exchange between an elderly couple, or the beauty of a huge ocean with waves crashing against rocks, and His incomprehensible intelligence through the complicated perfection of an odd species of a bird or a human cell. Basically, any time I spend any length of time meditating on Him and His greatness, I lose track of the things in my life, and nothing else seems important. He's that amazing. JASMINE'S PLACE 25 25
