Hi. Just wanted to share an awesome testimony of what our Lord Jesus has done in my life. As a child, I was abused by my older brother. I was bullied and teased at school by boys.
I grew up, feeling completely unlovable, was a very angry person. Could never understand why I never had friends, always felt the whole world was against me. I hated the world as much as the world hated me.
I met a man @ 19 years of age, and married him because I thought no-one else would ever want me. We have had three children, two boys and a girl. I had a blood clot in my lung after my daughter was born, but, praise God, I lived through it…He knew that four years later I would meet Him in the most wonderful way.
Back in 1994;there was a campaign in the UK called J.I.M. Or, the crying man. J= Jesus I = in M =Me….JIM. At that time I was working in a kitchen and having time off, far less on a Saturday, was unheard off. Well, this particular time, I had a Saturday off. (what a coincidence).
There was an outreach in the town cent re, and there was music, singing, praise, you name it…..I thought if this is what church is like, I want some. The following day, there was an advert in the local paper, saying your local Pentecostal church is here; giving the address. I thought, wow, I want to go. So, the next Sunday I went along to a meeting.
I sat while the singing was going on and just cried. I knew something had happened, but didn’t know what. I kept going for the next few weeks, and finally realised, I need Jesus. And asked Him into my life.
It has not been plain sailing; Its taken years and years, but , I finally know just how much Jesus loves me. He has taught me how to love. I now love others which I could never do before.
I thought I was the most unlovable person ever, but God has showed me beyond doubt just how much He loves me.!! He has healed my hurts. He has taught me to forgive; He has turned my whole life around; I was so shy, I wouldn’t say boo to a goose; now, I can stand up in front of a congregation and give my testimony. He has taken my temper away; He has given me peace in my heart.
He is wonderful !! He has saved me!! Praise God .
