What kind a person I was before believing in Christ?
In 2018, I got injury at work. I lost all my abilities to work. My nerves system was injured. I lost control of my left hand. I was worried and depressed. I could not type with my hands. I learned to use my index finger to type. I searched the internet to improve my life. I was lost. I had to walk with a cane. But I did not lose God. I find Christ Jesus.
How I found Jesus Christ or Jesus Christ found me?
In the bible Matthew 11:28 said: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” One day, my cousin invited me to a gospel gathering at 8th Ave Church. At the end of the gathering, a church member came over and spoke to me. He introduced himself to me. He told me his name was Luk Kwong. He asked me to choose Christ as my savior. I was lost and didn't know where to go. I was willing to accept Christ as my Lord and my Savior. Then he handed me a card that read “My Heavenly citizen card.” According to the card I was willing to surrender my life to Jesus Christ and have Jesus Christ be my Savior. Luk Kwong then led me for a prayer to confess my sins and accept Lord Jesus be my Savior and Lord.
How has my life changed after believing in Christ?
According to the strength Lord Jesus has given me, I realized that I must strive to live according to His will and become a person after God’s heart.
At that time, I did not know that the Holy Spirit inspired me to follow Christ, I just went with Brother Luk to church for Sunday worship. I attended church every Sunday. I have enjoyed listening to Hymns. Mostly I would take the train to Sunday worship from Flushing to the church at Brooklyn. Sometime, I feel better, I would drive to Sunday worship. I downloaded a copy of the English Bible and Cantonese Bible. Although I had no energy to write or read, I listened to the Bible on my phone at night and whenever I have time. I joined the church’s Canaan Fellowship (a small group of Church members that pray together and share God's blessing) for Bible study.
In the Bible, James 1:19 is written: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” I learned to have faith in Christ. I see God’s working thru my cousin’s simple invitation to hear God’s words. I also see Luk Kwong’s care for me is what Jesus has done for every one of us. Today, I pray and seek for God's guidance, I ask God to grant strength for me to face my trouble because Jesus Christ is my Lord and my savior. I do not get mad at myself. I seek God for forgiveness. There is peace in my heart. This is the Holy Spirit that lives inside of me for Jesus Christ is in my heart.
