My life hasn’t been a smooth ride, my life has had a lot of ups and downs but that doesn’t take over my life anymore.
I have been a Christian since I was 3 years old, you may say that I have doubted God or raise the question wether or not I have turned away from God in my past years.
I have grown up in a very, well, fortunate family in terms of the love and support behind it, but when I went to school I had no friends, I’d get bullied, told I was dropped on my head when I was a baby told that I had no life that I wasn’t worth anything to know one, I was called fat, ugly told that I was an accident all through out primary school.
I have been backstabbed over and over again but never really felt the need for God in my life at this time as I thought my family completed me, I didn’t think that Christ was needed in my life, I tried praying and praying despite my doubt but nothing seemed to work.
Was he real to me?
Did he love me?
Life went on and I didn’t really care who bullied me I came home told my parents about it and they’d report it to the school but I stopped reporting it when I was getting called a dibba dobber and all those names.
It wasn’t until high school late last year that I realized how important God is in life.
Brad was giving a message last year in his sex before marriage series after some unfortunate things happened in my life, he gave a really powerful message that really hit me, in fact it hit me that hard that that was the first time I ever took of the bread and the cup, I felt like a new person someone who can live for God and it was that night I decided I wanted to get baptized.
Since then my faith has been stronger than ever, I pray every night, I have witnessed to people through Facebook and in person since the message brad gave, I feel like I’m a strong part of the church through Christ because I believe with the downfalls after downfalls I have had, it was all just a lesson it was temptation from the devil that I fell for of which God healed. Brad was finishing up his message when he said, “So if you know you have committed sexual sin, if you believe Christ died and resurrected for you, if you want to be healed of your unclean body and make it pure again I’d ask you take of the cup” I then got up out of my seat took of the bread and the cup and made myself pure again, everything I did I felt was thrown away as far as the east is from the west.
And that’s why Brad will baptize me this morning in the name of the father, son and Holy Spirit.
Romans 3:23: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god.
I believe he is my Cornerstone, my protector, my helper, my healer, my saviour who is full of Love, Hope, Piece, Kindness, He is everything you have ever dreamed of and bigger than you have ever imagined, he is my one and only God who I can look up to and say I love you.
