When I was younger, I used to be really jealous of my sister, and I used to be really mean to her because of it. One day, when I was nine years old, I realized how much my actions were hurting my sister, and I knew I didn't want to be this way anymore, but I didn't know how to change so I asked my mom.
She explained to me that I had asked Jesus into my heart when I was four years old, but it's a daily choice to be obedient to Him and follow Him. She told me I could pray and recommit my heart to Him and ask Him to forgive me and help me change.
We prayed together and I asked God to forgive me and help me. God completely changed me from that moment on! She told me days later how much I had changed from how I was to being a blessing to my family, and how helpful I was.
My mom tells me my response to her was, "Thank you mommy, but I can't take any credit. I give God all the glory. I didn't want to be mean, but I didn't know how to stop." My whole family says I've never been the same. God is the only one who can change hearts. All credit and glory go to Him for making this change in my heart and life. Prayer is powerful! God is awesome!
