I was once in a situation where I had nothing.
I had no one to take care of me but God showed love to me and showed me grace that I have someone now who loves and cares about me. Here I am today, I live in a new home where everyone cares about me and loves me.
(He gave me) people who protect me and who want to see me successful in life and they always want to see my future bright…..I had once experienced bad times, like abuse. I felt that emotional pain whereby I was always stressed about what will happen next, but God showed mercy in my life. He rescued me from this situation.
Now look at me, there is a difference. I now live a happy life and I am free, which is something I never thought about. He is everything to me.
Before, I had no one to tell me about God but once I reached here, God was able to provide someone who would freely talk about God. That helped me because that helped me to grow in faith and to know God for who He
is and He knows me as I am.
Before I have not been baptized but once I reach here, I got baptized which was something I never thought about. I thought I will stay broke for the rest of my life and never be free, and that I would hold everything of my past and never move on with my life.
But because knew everything, he changed my life so that I can know that he is the one who He says He is…..God has been able to show His grace in my life when I had bad thoughts about my life. He took me out of something and made me someone who has a future, who is looking forward.
Even though bad things happened in my life, God cleansed it. It’s like now I am a newborn baby in Him and I thank Him for His love. I had never thought that something good may happen in my life but because of His love, he changed everything.
I am, today having a positive attitude about my life.
Hope, 16 years old.
