BC : Before [I committed to seek the
LORD Jesus Christ], I was an extremely bitter person.
TP: Then I met a person who was
genuinely kind and patient towards difficult people like me. She was my
classmate in college and a Christian. I had witnessed how she dealt with
problems gracefully that it made me wonder how she did it. When she joined
fellowships and bible studies conducted by a student Ministry based in my
school (PSALM), I also decided to join with her. And that was the turning point
of my life. After series of bible studies and worship gatherings, I accepted
Jesus Christ as my LORD and Savior.
AD: From then on, I understood God’s love,
grace and mercy. I experienced His forgiveness,
faithfulness and favor in my studies and relationships. He enabled me to forgive myself and the people
who had caused me to be bitter about life. By God’s grace I became cheerful and
patient towards difficult people and circumstances. I was able to hold my temper
longer than I used to. I know I could not have done it without God’s grace and
the Holy Spirit’s leading.
If I had not met Christ: I
would still be living a miserable life—wallowing in my past hurts and not
having a peace of mind. I praise and
thank the LORD for rescuing me from that kind of life.
Right now it is my also desire to
share the hope and joy that I have with other people especially the ones I
truly care about --- which includes you.
As of the moment, I
am still growing into becoming a better person; the kind of person God designed
me to be, a person with a Christ-like character.
