My Testimony

My parents have taken my siblings and I to church ever since I can remember. I would like to say that we looked like some of those “perfect little American families” who are always happy and carefree, but we weren’t. When I was six, my parents got a divorce. Even at such a young age, I started not always trusting people because of it. Sadly, I still deal with this issue, in some ways, even today.

Now, even though my parents got divorced, that did not stop my dad from taking us to church. As I got a little older, I started to understand what people were talking about when they said that they had a “personal relationship” with Jesus. I found out that it meant they believed that Jesus Christ was born and lived a normal childhood, but did nothing wrong, ever. Now personally,  I have done, and will always do, wrong things. But Jesus never did any of those things. I also found out that if I honestly believed that he loved me and I asked him to forgive me for all those wrong things that he would. I found out that even though my mom left my family, that I could trust that Jesus would never leave me, not physically, but in spirit (which is like emotionally and mentally). And that is why I believe that Jesus Christ is God. Because no matter what I go through, I know I can always trust in him.
