True Success

My friend Matt used to measure his success by the money he made, and the women he hung out with.� Matt had a great job, and lots of friends who he partied with. “On the outside,” he said, it looked like I had it all together.� But on the inside, I was falling apart.� I�d come home from the bars feeling so empty.”

Thankfully, Matt�s sister, Nancy, had been praying for him for many years.� She knew that only God could fill the emptiness in his life.� So one summer, Nancy invited Matt to attend a festival that my team and I were putting on. Matt agreed to come. When he heard the message of the Good News Gospel that I shared, Matt said, “I realized I was a sinner, separated from God. But Jesus loved me enough that he would die for me.”� That night, Matt surrendered his life to Jesus Christ.� Now he says his idea of success is walking closely with God.

Do you identify with Matt�s struggle?� Perhaps you look like you have it all together, too, but deep down you wonder if there�s more to life.� I�m here to tell you that there is more to life!� Jesus says, “I have come that [you] may have life, and have it to the full.”� Jesus Christ is ready, and willing, to transform your life — just as he did with my friend, Matt.
