A Total Life Revised

Before my real encounter with Christ, I was already exposed in the Christian world even when I was still in my mother’s womb. Nanay said that during her pregnancy, she kept on playing Christian cassette tapes for me to listen even when I was inside her womb. My parents were already Christians before I was born and before they met each other. That calls me a kid who grew up in a Christian family and community. Because my parents were Christians, I thought I was too.  I was grade 2 at that time. Many times I heard the word “salvation” and John 3:16 from, but I didn't know what it really means. I also knew Jesus. I watched people praising Him every Sunday and I try to imitate what they were doing. I joined them in singing and clapping. I also attended Sunday schools in our church and even studied in a Christian school. But I did not understand. I think it’s because I only care about playing Chinese garter, piko and Barbie.

Moreover, it’s not so long when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior and Lord. I was eight years old, and I won’t ever forget that day. Even now, I still can picture it in my mind. It was our devotion

in school. Our administrator preached every morning and that day was about salvation. After the preaching, he asked us to form a small group with a student from higher year. She helped us to pray and asked Jesus to forgive our sins and to be our personal Lord and Savior.

After that moment, there came a breakthrough in my life. I began to pray and I could feel His presence. There was something that was changed in my heart. At that same year, my teacher and I discovered that I could sing, but I never thought that I would be a song leader in our church in the future. And I am now. I realized, “Oh, that’s why God has given me this talent”. The next year, I became a member in the tambourine ministry. This was my first ministry at church. Joyfully, I was able to use those blessed experiences to teach dancing to children and youths.

During my high school and college days, I became more mature in my spiritual walk. God thought me so many things that until now, I’m still using them. He put leadership and writing in my heart. I also became passionate in helping others to grow in their spiritual life and sharing the gospel. It was totally a life revised. Though I experienced trials and testing, God still helped me to overcome them. And if I’m going to count His grace, favor and blessing in my life, I really couldn't count it. Without Christ working in my life, I honestly don’t even know what would happen to me. I know He’s not yet finished that’s why I am praying that God would continually reveal His will for my life and use me mightily to be a blessing.

Because Jesus is alive, people’s lives will be amazingly revised.
