Hi. Just wanted to share an awesome testimony of what our Lord Jesus has done in my life. As a child, I was abused by my older brother. I was bullied and teased at school by boys.
I grew up as a very angry person, and feeling completely unlovable. I could never understand why I never had friends; and always felt like the whole world was against me. I hated the world as much as I thought it hated me.
I met a man @ 19 years of age, and, because I thought no one else would ever want me, I married him. We have three children, two boys and a girl. I had a blood clot in my lung after my daughter was born, but, praise God, I lived through it...
In 1994 there was a campaign in the UK called, "J.I.M," "Jesus In Me." At that time, I was working in a kitchen and, having time off, (far less on a Saturday), was unheard off. Well, at this particular time, I had a Saturday off, (what a coincidence).
There was an outreach in the town cent re, and there was music, singing, praise, you name it... and I thought, if this is what church is like, I want some.
The following day there was an advertisement in the local paper, saying, "Your local Pentecostal church is here;" giving the address. I thought, wow, I want to go. So, the next Sunday I went along to a meeting.
I sat while the singing was going on, and just cried. I knew something had happened, but didn't know what. I went for the next few weeks, and finally realized that I need Jesus, and asked Him into my life.
It has not been easy sailing; It has taken years and years, but finally, I know just how much Jesus loves me. He has taught me how to love. I now love others, which I could never do before.
I thought I was the most unlovable person ever, but God has showed me beyond doubt just how much He loves me!! He has healed my hurts. He has taught me to forgive; He has turned my whole life around. I was so shy I wouldn't say "Boo" to a goose, now, I can stand up in front of a congregation and give my testimony.
He has taken my temper away; He has given me peace in my heart.
He is wonderful !! He has saved me!! Praise God .

Why is it so difficult for our educators and society, in general, to understand that love and respect for one another taught from a young age can solve much of the world's hostility and social problems!
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it" (Prov 22:6).
Love is the answer!
True loyalty springs from the heart and is wrapped in love. It is often in our most private moments that true loyalty, or the lack of it, is made known.
