Fellow Christians: How many years did you run from God before receiving him into your life as your Lord, Savior and Treasure?

I would admit that I was bad back in my early 20's, and thanks to Jesus that He has saved me because I was going through the wide road as explained in Matt 7:13 because it offered a lot of options... Matthew 7:13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

I did the first two, but I only accepted the 'hidden stache of Redbeard' as my treasure.

22 years. It took me taking care of an elderly lady and reading the Bible to her every morning and evening, and listening to her prayers, to learn to know and accept God. It's been 9 years since and I must admit, I fall off the path regularly, but I am trying to live up to His expectations for me.

Your religion doesn't make any sense to me, and I was a christian for 16 years.

I ran from God for as long as I could rebel against my Christian mother. I moved out on my own after college and learned how tough life can be. I started reading the Bible every night after work and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at age 23. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. For many on earth their treasure is "things" or their "status" or their "career" but true wealth and success is knowing where you will spend eternity. I am normally shy about my faith, but tonight I even shared my favorite Christian singles site in my very first answer here: http://meetchristiansingles.com , hope this helps some of you skeptics.
