you first recieved the gift of faith ? (gift of salvation....thats whats it called ._.' )
No, not the "i feel soo special, blessed etc". But literally. e.g. shocked, surprised, makes you suddenly change etc

Just really want to hear what others experiences were like and share. just out of curiosity.

from my own experience i can say that at first i was in disbelief, something so simple meaning so much.

I felt the same pretty much. You don't need all the fancy crap like praying everyday, getting baptized, not sinning, reading your bible every day, and going to church everyday to get into heaven. All you really need is to believe in god, follow the commandments, and praying/reading the bible as often as you can, imo.

The hour I first believed, finally and for the first time in my life I felt like maybe I wasn't as worthless as I thought I was.

Up until then, I had never cried out of happiness. Afterwards, the tears of joy would not stop and I couldn't seem to stand still or think about anything else. I felt like if I were to die that day, I would leave in peace and with a smile on my face.

In my case I just felt nothing in particular. I dont know what made me believe in Jesus, it came naturally i think. sweatdrop He simply became a natural part of my life at a young age (dont know the exact age though).

At the beginning of my faith I simply didnt get the whole sins thingy. I just thought Jesus was some sort of man capable of doing anything i ever wanted, hehe. But yeah, there was some changes...but it feels like im still unchanged in a way. Its hard to explain...

I just wish I could get that ole fire back n running up again.

I felt... home? It was like I found what was meant to complete me.My life did a 180 in a matter of weeks. I was pretty hard into drinking and deeply depressed before Jesus. Everything didn't get better that very instant, but for once I actually had hope that it would. That was a year ago and now my life has gotten so much better than I could have ever dreamed. xd
