God and Me: Jesus my Saviour

I am born and brought up in a Christian family yet I was never keen about my personal relationship with Jesus. I was very keen in acquiring all the worldly status of LIFE! My friends who studied and grew up with me went passed ahead in all affairs. I felt so gloomy. I never was happy about my circumstances neither I knew what it was to trust in God for happiness and success. I silently questioned Lord Jesus as to why I always lagged behind from others. God was silent! Then God provided a soul mate for me. But usual marriage adjustments retarded me more and I started breaking under depression. I prayed …..But God was silent!
On 8th March’ 08 during a Bible study program on the book of Daniel in the Church, I prayed to God to cleanse me with His Holy Word. I repented and prayed (Psalms 22:24) and begged Lord Jesus to touch me and break me free from all sins and to pour into me His Holy Spirit! The Bible says that God does not overlook a broken and contrite heart. True to His Nature, God answered………My lips began to shiver….. My folded hand started to clap in His praise……….and I instantly fell flat on the ground……..God was touching me. My whole body began to fill with His GRACE! My murmuring lips were only thanking God for the GREATEST GIFT I have received from God ……..SALVATION. I found all my inner sufferings, past agony, impure thoughts and pride melting down like ice. The utmost peace, joy, love of Christ began to envelop me with His mercy. I no more felt lonely or negative about life. After encountering the power of Lord Jesus in my life, every area of my life was changed. I was no more the same. He gave me courage to look at life and at others from His prespective. I thanked Lord Jesus for choosing me for His Glory. When I look back I see the strange heavenly coincidence of God’s design for my life. My engagement was finalized on 8th Sep – my Engagement on 8th Nov – my Marriage on 8th Jan and my Holy Birth on 8th Mar 08! Today I am a new being and very happy and thankful to Lord Jesus for answering all my prayers. Now I am happy that I have found a true friend in Jesus who loves me more than anyone else. Therfore, I know for sure that God is not meant to be somewhere far away and silent. He is mindful about us human beings, but we need to listen to His voice and respond to Him. God is never silent………..HE LISTENS and CARES. God Bless.
