I want to share a little testimony of my journey with the Lord (:
Before I came to know the Lord, my life was in a mess. I was an ordinary girl who longed to be loved by the world, so starting from P6 till end of sec 4, I had alot of serious crushes, boyfriends. I then became very rebellious in sec 2, I cut my wrists to ease pains suffered from all these and friendships problems, but alot of scars left at my left hand. I also lied to my parents about things so that I can do things their backs.
One day, Zi Xin, my ex-Deyi school mate, asked me to attend her church. I didn't know anything about Christianity then. On the way to her church , she asked me "what if one day you have the chance to receive Jesus into Your life?" i was like stunned cos I didn't know anything. So anyway, the service was fun, awesome, sermon was great too! Then during ministry time, the pastor asked indirectly who wants to receive Jesus Christ into their life and I raised my hand, when I opened my eyes, zi xin and friends where like congratulating me that I am in family of God, I was so confused! serious. HAHA! But anyway I connected with Yhope for a period of time, but on and off cos I thought my parents wouldn't allow me to do so cos of what I had done and they were kinda strict.
A few months later, my elder brother received Christ and attended CNL, chinese side. He brought me to church then, I was so excited! I attende the chinese service, it was really good, joyful atmosphere and everything. I wanted to go back, so I thought I would be at the chinese side, but my brother dragged me to the youth group at CNL. YAY! It was so good to be true. HAHA! The girls (Elaine, Felicia, Yi Cong, Hannah, Sophia and many more) welcomed me so warmly into Youths for a few weeks :) Then my brother had to leave for Australia to further his studies, I thought I wanted to go back to YHope, but he said to stay in CNL cos there are people who can look after me. So unwillingly yet thankfully I stayed on. I then slowly learnt so much about Christianity and also felt the real love of God and from the people in church. They are so encouraging and loving. How can it be true, you asked? Come and feel it yourself, really it's by little faith and steps that I took to be who I am now.
God revealed himself so much to me over the years, I felt his presence many many times, He picked me up and hold me tightly in his arms of love, He removed the hurts, the painful past that I went through, He put new hope, new life in me. He blessed me in my studies even though I spent so much time serving Him, He provides. (:
Who say church is boring? It is not! Our Youth group is the funkiest group ever! You don't need to go clubbing, pubbing to meet friends, you can really find true friends in church! They not only encourage and love you, they have fun with you!! We had many many activities too! Alot more fun than what the world is having. I know you may say I never go clubbing before, how I know, right? Cos I know, I can feel it, why go clubbing to dance, meet friends, drunk and got sick at the end? (I am sorry if I have offended anybody here) But really, don't waste your time and money, there. You only have one life, so treausure and cherish it. Find true meaning and purpose in Your life through God. Your life is not only about "Me, myself and I" It's about everybody else. Build your life in the Lord, serve the Lord your saviour, God. Meet real friends, share Your live with them, spend time with them encouraging, cry and laugh with them. You don't know how much some people mean to You and how much God wants You to come back to Him.
So ever since I am involved with God and His kingdom, my life was never the same anymore. I realised true love comes from God, and also seeking Him is joy and fun thing to do! He will show you amazing things that you never think of!
Alright, think that's all I can say. I pray you will be encouraged and challenged by my mini message :) Forgive me if I have offended anyone.
Dear God,
I thank You for this beautiful life that You have given me. Even though there are ups and downs, You never fail to pick me up, You never fail to be there for me when I cry out to You. You are a wondeful God, Lord. No matter what happen, I will follow You, I will obey and stand firm in Your law. I love You God ! I pray oh God for open hearts for people to want to know You and that their lives will be transformed. In Jesus Precious name, AMEN!
