I was asked by several people to write out my testimony. At first, I was uneasy in putting my experiences to work but the Spirit has given me strength to open up about my life and what had happened in it. The more I write the more the spirit pulls on me to tell you everything so you can understand that Jesus can save you just like he saved me.
It is my hope that my words here and my willingness to allow you to see what happened in my past life, when I was living for the world, will help you realize that we cannot do it alone. Every person on this world needs Jesus. It doesn’t matter what walk of life you come from, if you are rich or poor, introvert or extrovert, in suffering or in joy. We all need Jesus to save us.
I hope if your heart is hardened towards Jesus and his love for you that maybe my words here will help you understand how much he loves you and how much he wants to help you have a better life. Realize as well that Jesus doesn’t guarantee an easy life but with the heart, he gives you he will help you concentrate on what truly matters in your life and he will give you strength with every step you take with him.
He will change your heart but do not be afraid. My heart was hard before he came to me, but he has saved me from a hell of my own creation. He loves you more than you can ever realize and when you are sad, he is sad and when you hurt, he feels your pain. He wants so much for you to know him and his love for you, so I hope with these words you decide to seek him and trust in him. We cannot do this alone, but he gives us help even when we feel we are helpless.
You have probably heard that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light (John 14:6) and it is the truth. I hope you find him if you haven’t found him, and I hope that if you do know him reading this will help you strengthen your bond with him seeing how much he loved me to go to great lengths to save a sinner that completely and utterly deserves to be cast into the pit.
I do not write these words for my own glory but for the glory of God alone. Do not praise me for anything but praise Jesus for his work in my life and see how he saved another sinner from certain death. I want you to know him better from what he did for me and how he brought me out of the darkness I was drowning in. Jesus is the light in the darkness by you must take his hand for him to pull you out of your own darkness.
I did not deserve God’s Grace and Mercy, but he gives it so willingly. He gave it to me even before I knew him because as a father, he wants the best for his children, and he will try to help nudge us in the right direction so hopefully we will seek him someday. He will never force himself on you and you do need to be willing to take his hand.
In Jesus name I pray that you take his hand and allow him to do the work in your life to help you through your pain and carry you through any storm you may face. I also pray that you don’t have to go through what I did before you accept him. Some of us (me especially) are so hardheaded (and hearted) that it takes great suffering before we open our heart to him.
