My Testimony
I started going to church since the beginning of high school. One of my good friends invited me to a Billy Graham Crusade on my birthday. I got saved that night, but didn’t put too much thought to it. I started going to a Chinese Baptist church every Sunday and I went to Sunday school when I felt like it. I did this for most of my high school years. I led a pretty normal life. I obeyed my parents, I had good grades and friends. On the whole, I felt like I was a good person. I called myself a Christian, but I never felt that living the Christian life was different from what I normally led.
Once college came around, things completely changed. I started going to my brother’s church, Agape and went to a lot of the events such as small group, large group and church. I went to a lot of the events partly because of my brother, but also I felt like the people there had something that I didn’t have.
Meanwhile at school, I was having trouble getting the grades I wanted. I was frustrated and angry with myself and for the first time, I felt really lost. It was during this time I realized that God was trying to get close to me and was showing me how much he loved me and wanted me to mature in Him. My heart would get hard and sometimes I would resist Him. As a result, I’d only feel guilty and feel like a hypocrite and I knew I couldn’t go on living like that. I desperately needed Jesus to save me from myself. I started to pray and asked God for his forgiveness and recommitted myself to Christ that year. God gave me a peace that I knew only came from Him. To this day God has been so faithful to help me to become the person he wants me to be. God is true to his word and hasn’t given up on me even when I was unfaithful and unlovable. When I thought I couldn’t go on, the Lord has always shown me that He is Lord in my life. I thank God for this freedom in Him and for this new-found purpose in my life.
