My personal testimony

Before I received eternal life, I felt very much alone and rejected.

I always felt like I never measured up to others’ standards, whether that be my teachers, friends, or even my parents. A common occurrence growing up was always being picked last for every team game. The others would be chosen because they were better, faster, smarter. Even my “friends” would hesitate to choose me. It made me feel so useless and worthless. Over years, I began believing that I was never “good enough.” I felt unwanted, and unloved.

Then I discovered that I could have eternal life, which includes total acceptance and peace with myself.

Now that I have eternal life, I no longer feel rejected even when I fail others’ expectations of me.

Once, when I was giving a big speech in front of dozens of people, I completely messed it up. I forgot lines, was making little to no sense at all. It was by all accounts- a disaster. And yet even in the midst of my terrible performance, I felt at peace. Somehow it didn’t affect my sense of self-worth. I just knew that I would grow from that experience and move on.

I am now certain that I have eternal life and will go to heaven when I die- even though I’m not perfect. May I share with you how you can also know for sure? May I ask you a question?
