I
may not have a very sad story or turning point in my life yet. But I
hope that when it comes, I'll remember to think positive and let Him
steady my confused human heart. I lived my life knowing Him and what
He can do. He was introduced to me in a way that I'll never forget. I
was a kid back then. Before I go to sleep I would kneel down and
clasp my hands to pray. Then, I would recite the Lord's Prayer.
As
time passes, I seem to have forgotten that prayer and started
constructing my own. I grew up and didn't lose my connection with
Him. Although, I didn't progress either.
I
transferred to a new school. It was a Christian school. There, I was
able to exercise my faith and was able to learn more about Him. After
3 years, I found my home church and went there for Sunday school. It
was fun but most of all, it allowed me to view my faith in a wider
perspective. Not only did I gain knowledge about God, I also gained
new friends.
To
be honest, I was not the one to read the Bible everyday. Although I
made plans to finish reading it with understanding within a year, it
didn't happen.
I
still remember that Sunday when I started reading it everyday. The
pastor in our church gave us a Bible reading plan. This paved ways
for me to have a goal to accomplish reading it with understanding
within a year. I started on April 16, 2013 and would finish on April
16, 2014.
Along
with the Bible, I also read Our Daily Bread. These two books remind
me of my purpose in life. It reminds me that God should be the center
of my life and nothing else.
These
pictures of the Bible & Our Daily Bread sort of describes what my
faith used to be and what it is now.
At
first, it was dimmed. I knew about Him but I didn't take time to know
more about Him. Now, its burning with passion to know Him better and
to be able to know what He wants me to do. :)
