Chosen
This isn’t a fairy tale or Hollywood saga, so don’t expect something dramatic to happen. But every time we share our testimony, whether big or small we are signifying and demonstrating a fact about who God really is.
This is my intimate experience about how I encountered God, the living God that swirled up my faith believe that He is the only true God. The set amount of traveling I did to become a fulfilling Christian youth was innumerable. The journey to becoming a faithful Christian youth was that of a one-rollercoaster ride.
I began attending church from a pretty young age. My family would go to church every Sunday and every chance they got. Growing up among the Christian circle, I was always taught about who God is and how He saved us, almost to the extent I felt like hearing it no more. But woefully my relationship with God was a great failure. Although I was growing bodily I never grew together with God. During that great time of wandering, I had to pass through diverse and dreadful troubles in life but that never made me think, how God could have rescued me from such circumstances. My life was full of doubts and I was not pleased with how my life was functioning. Every time I could feel something crucial was missing. Despite the fact that I was wholly aware if only I asked God for help, He would come to my rescue but I was always reluctant because I had a great fear of intimacy and coming too close to God. Nevertheless, I was exhausted from all the bitterness and unforgiving heart I was carrying constantly.
But the good news is once you are God’s, He doesn’t let you go, even though you have made a big mess 1 Peter 5:10 says, “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” It was one night when I ultimately decided to go into prayers and seek His help. I went down on my knees and started praying. As I went closer to God, I started to be in tears instantly and I could not stop. I began to be filled with love and joy like never before. I asked him to bless me and then everything felt new, I felt like I was born again. God instantly took away all the bitterness from my heart and I began to thirst for God’s words. Then God revealed Himself to me in a variety of ways he had helped me when I was ungracious about it. The only thing I was lacking was the great God in my life. Now my new self only trusts Him under every circumstance. I know my God who is in heaven is taking care of all my needs and wants. I need not worry about what tomorrow holds. He is there to sort out things for me.
The bible is true, seek God with all your heart and you shall find him. I had an amazing experience when I was in prayer with him. God chose to reveal himself to me in my most desperate times through prayer and I am always grateful that He loves me the most. He reminded me that he had never forsaken me in times of trouble. At one point when I thought how worthless I was, but now I know I am very precious to God, who is always persistent with his mercy towards us.
HE blesses us with the blessings that we did not deserve. Don’t ignore him any longer. Tomorrow could be too late. God has a plan for all of us, just as I experienced healing from bitterness and selfishness, God has a plan for all of you. We need to seek him God and He wants us to come closer to him.
