David's Christian Testimony: A few years ago in October of 2010 one very early morning at about 3 am I was alone in my room on my laptop.
I had just spent the entire weekend looking at porn on the internet. Now, I know that sounds funny, but before this, I had spent the last few years addicted to porn.
I was still a teenager then, and I spent this time falling in and out of "love" with girls on youtube. This combination of addiction and breaking my heart was devastating. I had come to the end of myself. In my bedroom all alone on my laptop, I heard a voice inside me-more closer to my ear say, "Look up stories about angels."
I use to love reading stories about angels, but I hadn't done that in years. This quickly led to an atheist's testimony about how he encountered God while in a coma. In his own words, the atheist felt God loved him more than his wife could ever love him, his parents could ever love him, or anyone has ever loved him. I asked myself, "Is this love for real?"
You see-I grew up in a Christian household but never got to know God. If this was how God felt about an atheist then surely he loves me, someone, who at least once knew him. I heard the voice again. It said, "Yes, it is." Three simple words. I finished reading the rest of the testimony, which ended with the Prayer of Salvation. I have never been the same again.
After receiving Salvation, I lied on my bedroom floor literally feeling like I had been scrubbed clean with soap and water. That same day I read the Bible for 3 hours something I had never done before. | I did this every day for a week.
In the course of several months, I lost 70 lbs. I graduated from high school a Salutatorian with a GPA of almost 4. In the same year I graduated, I was hired for my first job. The first five jobs I ever applied for I was called back for interviews and was hired. Before Jesus I hated myself. After becoming saved, I now try to love everyone, and I love and respect myself.
It hasn't been perfect. I still had rough times, and I still do to this day. But I take peace because I know that Jesus saved me and one day I will be with Him in Heaven forever. No matter what I go through, He is with me. Also. After being saved, this might sound a little funny, but my hygiene, handwriting, organizational skills and singing voice, (I don't like to sing very much) and smiling all improved dramatically.
David: United States
Why is it so difficult for our educators and society, in general, to understand that love and respect for one another taught from a young age can solve much of the world's hostility and social problems!
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it" (Prov 22:6).
Love is the answer!
True loyalty springs from the heart and is wrapped in love. It is often in our most private moments that true loyalty, or the lack of it, is made known.
