My testimony of walking with Jesus
Since I have chosen to follow Jesus and to put God first I have begun to see more clearly the purpose of my life, relationships, situations, God has total control and all I need is to follow. The more I let go of the reigns and let God guide my life, my faith gets stronger and stronger. I don’t worry as much and I have peace through the troubling times. I can stand in Him and I know I will be ok because I have him. I ask for more of his love and he freely gives. Each day with jesus I become more like him, I love more and understand more, and I know where I am going.
Before I had eternal life I struggled with insecurities and abandonment issues.
I remember my Dad rejected me and told me he didn’t want to see me on my birthday, he said I was just using him for presents. And I was told he didn’t love me anymore, and I didn’t see or hear from him for 10 years.
It wasn’t until years later that I found Jesus. My mom found Hesus when she was in a battered women’s shelter. Once I seen the change and wanted it she gave me a scripture and God opened my eyes.
Now that I have eternal life I do not have to fear being abandoned because God will never abandon me, I will no longer be lonely, I have hope and joy.
One day when I was dealing with a toxic relationship that should have been good, I found that the person I dated, though they were a Christian fell into their sinful old ways and blamed me for not being sympathetic for them. I was in turmoil about it, I was used to settling and not analyzing what is best for me. When I was at church the youth pastor who seen my transformation and had more oversight of the situation than I did said a few words that changed everything, he said that I was a daughter of the most high God and I should not settle for anything less than what I deserve. Those words broke through this people pleasing bubble that I wrapped myself in my whole life and it was like at that moment I finally began to see my worth. I could choose for myself who and what I aloud into my life.
Now I have that security in my Heavenly Father that he has a place for me, I will never be lonely or abandoned again, and because I do whole heartedly believe Jesus is lord and savior and I put my hope in him , that I will see and enter his kingdom as his word says.
