From Shadows to Light: A Journey of Faith and Transformation
Growing up, I faced bullying for being short, skinny, and not very articulate. This made me keep my pain hidden, breeding resentment and isolation in my heart. But deep down, I knew God had chosen me for a purpose, as Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
My journey to faith was complex. Initially, I was skeptical when my sister abandoned our traditional beliefs for Christianity. I couldn’t understand how she could forsake our family’s customs so easily. Yet, her faith sparked a curiosity in me about the sincerity and foundation of our beliefs.
My path took a significant turn in college when I met my boyfriend, a devout Christian. His unwavering faith and the warmth of his companionship showed me a glimpse of God’s love. It was through him that I encountered the True Jesus Church, and despite my initial fears and doubts, I felt a pull towards this community. They followed the Bible closely, focusing on a sincere relationship with God, as described in John 4:24, “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
The turning point came when I received the Holy Spirit. It was an overwhelming experience that washed away years of bitterness, embodying the promise of 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” This profound change didn’t erase my struggles but gave me the strength to face them with faith.
Choosing to be baptized was a decision that came with its own set of challenges, especially from my family. However, I stood firm in my faith, guided by the peace that comes from knowing I am following God’s path for me.
Now, as I approach my thirties, I look forward to a future within a Christian marriage, embracing the joys of fellowship and service. I am participating in community activities, hopeful for what lies ahead. My journey with Christ has taught me about forgiveness, love, and the power of transformation. I am grateful for every step, confident in the knowledge that with Jesus, “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5).
