I’ve always been jealous of people who find comfort and peace in a religion.

I like what Grace said. Religion is different than actually have a personal relationship with God. Jesus love all of us! I denied him for a long time. Then one day I started reading the Bible. I began in Revelations of all things. After Revelations, I started at the beginning of the New Testament. Let me tell ya, it came alive for me. Whenever I was struggling, I opened the Bible and it had the answer to my problem. Something inside of me kept tugging on my heart and I finally stopped pushing him away. I have a lot of courage, strength, joy and serenity in my life now because I have a personal relationship with Jesus. I went to different churches until I found one that felt like home. I felt extremely uncomfortable at first. Then I started meeting other gals at church. They are the funnest, wildest, kindest people that I have met. Now, I get excited every Sunday to go. I embraced the awkwardness and pushed myself to go. Now, I'm a completely transformed woman through Christ. January 1, 2021 I accepted him into my heart.
