My Testimony - A New Life
Some people come to know Jesus through a trusted friend, relative or coworker. Some people may come to know Him through their Sunday school teacher, a parent or roommate.
​
God used my ex to show me that I needed Jesus.
​
In a rage, my ex used all his 200 lbs. to punch me in my face and later on sent me in a tailspin of terror through his threats, stalking and intimidation. He also tried to kill me. God had my undivided attention.
​
When there was no one on earth to help me, I had to turn my face towards heaven. I searched for and found Jesus Christ as a faithful Friend, a loving Brother, a Kind Protector.
I had to take the following steps: I understood that the only way to God was through His Son, Jesus Christ. I believed that He died for my sins, I surrendered my life to Him, submitted to His authority and began to follow Him. I got baptized, started reading the Bible and praying and began attending a Bible-believing church.
​
My healing and restoration to normalcy was not a simple process and it didn't happen overnight. I didn't pick myself up by my bootstraps. My healing wasn't a coincidence. It wasn't luck. It was only because God through His Son Jesus Christ removed the fear that laid in the pit of my stomach. Only God through Jesus Christ gave me peace, assurance and hope during my hopeless situation. At my lowest point, I thought about ending it all. It was God who kept me safe from someone who wanted to destroy me.
God gives new life to old things. Just as He used resurrection power to raise Jesus from the dead, He can breathe new life into you and into your situation. God is the God of restoration, the God of the second chance.
​
Have you looked to God to enter your story? When He entered mine, He changed the trajectory of my life for the better.
​
I don't know what you are facing today, but God CAN work in your situation. Just ask Him.
