Life in the system, and finding God
I am in foster care, and i didn't understand why god put me through it. I was angry and yelled. But my life was changed, when i stopped and took a look at what was in front of me. God was standing there the whole time. Proof, that he is moving. I see everything in a new, happy way.
Anger/Temper Emptiness/no purpose Despair/Depression
I had a hard time trustimng in God, and believing. I yelled and blamed God for things. I was mad because4i was the only one of my 4 sibling that was alone in fostercare. My two sisters lived together, my two britehrs lived together, than there was just me. I consantley, sinend and used foul language.
Then one day, i deleted all the songs from my MP3 and replacedthem with christian music, i read the Bible for the first time in a while, and i prayed for the first time in years. My eyes were opened, HE opened them, All because i took one second, and looked at what was right in front of me. Thats where God had been that whole time. I just didn't stop and look.
Trust/beleive Love/have faith
Now, i pray before i go to sleep, i read the bible, I pray for people who do bad. I once heard, "Love the sinner, Hatethe sin." I see the world completely differently now, i believe, I smile all the time, and i laugh for no reason sometimes.
I finally understand why God had put me through all that, he wanted me to see him and listen, he wanted to show me that i wasn't really alone. That he was there the whole time. I know he gave me eternal life because i feel and seething differntly. In a happy manner. I feel nothing can stop me from loving God, nothing can get in my way. I am a beleiver, and i am living proof that God moves. He's moving through me, and he'll move through you to. Just stop and take a look in front of you, cause God is standing there.
Your testimony matters too
