Heaven for the Sinner by Genesse Castillo
How did it start you might ask?
The story began when I was 16.
3 years after my Mom died.
This was also the age I lost my
virginity.
Quickly lured into the lust I felt inside.
Which was why I had so much PRIDE.
Sin cost me walking down the aisle with my classmates.
Expelled.
Years later, I entered into a series of relationships with different women. In search of
the love that I lost from the lack of a mother figure.
I never committed myself to church or anyone for that matter.
For years I thought, how can God forgive a misfit such as me?
Full-blown rebellion.
Plenty of drugs, clubs, and sleeping around.
Which ultimately lead me into a dark depression.
This was my life for 12 years.
It wasn't until I felt the Lord pulling me, calling me towards Himself.
Evidently realized I was a religious fraud.
No different than the Pharisees but living lasciviously.
I knew we couldn't reconnect unless I believed in Him and repented, and so I did.
Once upon a time, I was among the dead.
Now I am fully alive in Christ.
