Having been raised in a Christian home and in church, I was familiar with Jesus from a young age. It was not until I left home that i realized I needed more than just knowing about Jesus.
I had been provided the opportunity for a college education. I had a good job, a house, a nice car, and family and friends. I had the things that by society's standards indicated I was successful and thus should have been happy. Yet with all these "things" I felt lonely even when I was among people.
One day I understood that although I was a good person, I was still a sinner. I asked Jesus to be my personal savior. From that point, I have never been along and have been happy in both trials and joyous events of life.
I know that "things" do not bring happiness. I have seen people with abundant wealth who are not satisfied. I have also seen people with little according to society's standards, and have found them to be joyful because of the One that they do have. Jesus.
