I’m from a typical Taoist family. I grew up not knowing
Jesus and it was difficult because we had many problems
within our family and the only person I could turn to for
comfort was my mom. She never knew Christ either.
Imagine yourself living with family members who tell you
things like "you're hopeless" , "you'll never succeed in
life" "you're wasting our time" "you'll end up in the
streets one day", "you're a useless person". That was the
kind of things that I get from my family.
Soon enough, I got myself into trouble. I was doing things
that I knew was wrong but I did it anyway. I got involved in
unhealthy relationships; I made plenty of sacrifices because
I thought that it would earn me the love and a sense of
belonging that I craved.
Lonely and slowly sinking into depression, I was at the
lowest point of my life and it was then, that I started to
search within myself I knew something was missing, and I
knew that it was something important and it was then, in the
darkest hour of my life, that Jesus came knocking on my
door.
Now I know that God works through people and He sent not
just the right people, but those that genuinely care about
me, to my life. They have helped me get to where I am.
I am a much better person now and I no longer think of
depressing thoughts. I am living with a purpose now and that
is to do God's work and help others get to where I am from
where I was.
"Without
Jesus in my life
I would never have come so far."
