Simon, it sounds like at one time you knew Jesus. Sometimes I think its harder when you've walked away because its like your heart has become hardened. In my teenage years, I was on fire for God. I even went witnessing to the homeless in the parks. I had a passionate love for Jesus then that I have never been able to quite get back. I love Jesus, but I'vs lost the fire and drive that I had back then. I don't know if maybe it was because I was young and innocent, and hadn't been effected by this sinful world we live in.

Anyway, through prayer, and visiting with other Christians on this site, its coming back! I still need to read the Bible more, but there is another thing that seems to greatly help a hardened heart; Christian music. I thought I'd post a couple of my favorites. If you get time, please listen to the words and sing along to them as a prayer. It seems to really work. I believe God really loves us to sing to him in worship. I can really feel his presence through music more than at any time. Please give it a try! I'll be praying for you!
