I Found the One

When I was a kid, I believe that there is a God but my mind cannot comprehend that this God can reach me. I thought he is very far and busy doing other business. Grief is my companion each day. I was angry to my parents because they separated when I was four years old. Bitterness grew as I see my parents living with their new partners and children. Since then, I felt I was abandoned and the next years were full of bad and painful experiences. I was abused. I can't find words to tell how much I hated the world.

Due to resentment and emptiness, I've been to wrong relationships trying to find and feel something but I end up feeling nothing, having no idea what comes after life here on earth.

Then my classmate in college shared to me the free gift of eternal life. When Jesus found me, my shame and guilt were turned to joy. I was healed.

I began to notice changes in my way of thinking and living. His love taught me to love my parents and half-siblings. Each morning, when I wake up, I have my hopes high and reason to live. I’m secured knowing that He will never leave me nor forsake me.

All the bitterness towards the people who hurt me vanished. I was surprised when I had seen them, I wasn't angry with them anymore and there was forgiveness and peace in my heart.

His Word and promises written in the scripture are my source of comfort and security. The dream of freedom from my past became real; hope and grace overflow each day. I am 100% certain if I die right now, I have eternal life and will spend it in Heaven.
