"I spent years devastated by drugs. Today I walk free because Christ found me on the streets."

FROM APPEARANCES TO TRUE HAPPINESS

Miguel Morales’s Testimony

In search of happiness, I ended up getting involved in drug trafficking.

I would see some of my relatives and all the luxuries they had: cars, clothes, money…and it all caught my attention. I came from a poor neighborhood, surrounded by poverty, and eventually I got tired of living that way. I wanted luxuries, I wanted a different life, but I didn’t know the price I would ultimately have to pay.

I lived a lie: a life full of appearances and fake happiness.

I had money, but when night came and I found myself alone in a hotel, I would start crying. On the outside, it seemed like I had everything, but inside I carried an emptiness that nothing could fill.

I also carried a hatred and resentment inside me that I couldn’t explain. That led me to turn to alcohol and drugs, until I reached the point where my own life no longer mattered to me.

But one day, someone told me about Jesus Christ.

Over time, I realized that the life I was living was not the right path. Little by little, the emptiness inside me began to fill with love. All the hatred, resentment, and wounds I carried were healed by Jesus Christ.

Christ healed me, restored me, and transformed my life.

To everyone who finds themselves where I once was, I want to say this: drugs, alcohol, and drug trafficking destroyed my life, and they can destroy yours too if you continue down that road.

Today I can say that I am truly happy. It’s not a happiness that’s just words or appearances; it’s a happiness that comes from the heart.

I’m happy in Christ!

Come to Him. In Jesus Christ, you can find the peace, love, restoration, and true happiness that this world can never give you.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”Matthew 11:28
