Praise the Lord
Wow, I'm really in the mood to tell the whole world about Christ and how He helped me with my life.I grew up in a Christian family. Altho they were Christians, I saw that Christ was not really IN them. I've witnessed my cousins who were baptized, later, they'll be back at their old habits. I thought I accepted Christ a long time ago, and I did. I was a freshman at highschool when I accepted Him. My friend melissa, was motivating me. She's the one I talk to whenever I got problems that concerned about my spiritual status. And she helped me a lot. When I was in second year, my Mom decided to transfer me at Bacolod City. I studied at a Catholic School. (When I was in grade 3 to first year, i studied at a Christian school). I don't know what happened but I felt my relationship with God was broken. I prayed a lot at our prayer house, but I don't know, God hadn't answered my prayers(or so I think). I've struggled many times. There were times when I say to myself, God left me. But He didn't. I decided to go back to my former school (Im a junior now). The first 3 months were very difficult. Honor stuffs, blending with people again, you know. Honestly, I studied hard, but still I got the 6th honor. I asked, why? I was faithful to Him. I asked myself again, where art thou? Then, October 27-31, 2006, I went to the camp that was held by the school. My motive was just to have fun and learn to be independent. It was boring because some of my classmates didn't go with us. The theme was "Live For Jesus". The topic was "Purity". How can a young person stay pure? It talked about lust, sexual sins, etc. Just thinking bout those stuffs (dirty stuffs), you make a sin. I was horrified. I said to myself, I am a very sinful creature. Dun ko naintindihan talaga that God is so pure and I am very impure. God is so holy and i am a very sinful person. Hinde ko alam kung pano at ano ang nangyari, i cried. I really cried na sobrang grabe yung guilt na naramdaman ko. Naisip ko, hinde naman talaga kelangan ni Christ magpakamatay satin e, to think of na makasalanan tayo, pero He still did - because He loves us. Tapos naisip ko, sa ginawa ni Christ, bakit mahirap satin na ioffer ang lives natin saKanya - when He did without hesitation? I really cried hard. tapos nagbigay ng testimony yung friend ko. I cried again. Sobrang the Holy Spirit was working on us talaga - that time. October 30, 2006, I really said to myself that I understood everything and accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. Kanina, before we went home, I gave a testimony, yun nga lang, kapag umiiyak na ako, hinde na ako makapagsalita, kaya maikli lang masyado. I really praise God. Siguro kaya niya ako binalik dito sa lugar na to because He wanted me to know the good news. He wanted me to see and hear the truth. And because God gave me grace, I will share my faith to others. That's one way of repaying Him the goodness He has done to my life. Pls pray for my father. Please help me pray for my father to accept Christ as his Lord and Savior. Pls pray for my mother. Help me pray for my mother to be devoted to God's words. Even tho she's a Christian, I want her to be holy in all ways just like God. Because God said, "Be Holy for I am Holy." Guys, salvation is free gift of God to all. No matter you're a murderer, a kidnapper, a bomber or how sinful you are, God is always there for us. I know it. I really know it. He will never ever leave us. Yung problem lang naman is the people e, they're the ones na tinatalikuran yung God. Just repent and accept Him and all these things shall be added unto you. And it includes eternal life. ;) |
