"For many years I had a leaning and attraction for God and that was good enough, I thought! I was nice to my parents, prayed a little prayer every night and was considered to be a nice guy! Then I was made to realize by circumstances in my life that the only real closeness and friendship with God comes through a relationship with Jesus. I'm finding out that only in Him and with His help and guidance am I able to deal with the struggles of life and grow in knowing God." (Joris)
