My Testimony . . .

Greetings to you Friend. I am just an ordinary guy. One you would not give a second look at if you were to pass by me in the street. But you know what – God Almighty who created the Universe knows me. Do I need anything more in life ? If the creator of everything loves me, then what difference does it make whether any one else likes me or not ? It is written in the bible – `His grace is sufficient for me’ and `I can do all things through Him who gives me the strength.' 

You came here in order to know something about me. You won’t be disappointed because the testimony of my life is powerful. But I will try and be as concise as possible. 

If you were to meet me 12 years ago you would not believe I am the same person. I was in the 'world'. I would never appreciated God’s blessings, took everything for granted, did all the wrong things. But God was watching me closely and I am sure He wasn’t too pleased. It was soon time for Him to turn my life upside down. 

In 1996, my life suddenly became a nightmare. Circumstances became so terrible that a stage came when I contemplated ending my life. I was so desperate that I even planned how and when I would commit this act. I simply had no regrets as I felt I had lost everything. This fact was unknown to everyone including my parents (I was their only child). 

The day I had decided to end it all, I somehow felt within my broken heart that I should go to church for the last time. And believe it or not the message the preacher spoke that Sunday was on the 'futility of Suicide’. That was no coincidence, God had planned it all. He wasn’t going to let me go as yet, he wanted to save me. That evening was the most restless time I ever spent. On one side was the bottle of poison that I had planned to consume. On the other side was the message of the morning and God saying – Stop, come back to me my son and I will bless you. 

I am glad to tell you today that I listened to God and took that first step towards him. It was hard at first with the Devil reminding me that everything was over and there was no hope for me. But something kept me moving towards God. I know it was His love. Remember, the Devil never speaks the truth. He is a LIAR. 

Only a few days ago I was wondering how I would pass each minute of my shattered life. But now with God’s grace and unfailing love, weeks passed by, then months and later years. At this moment of time I do not even think of those days and there is not a single wound in my body – its completely healed. Praise God !  . . . .Continued on next page,
