Since I didn’t have a testimony for last week, I thought it would be great to share my testimony. I was lost, but now I am found. My eyes was filled with Leviathan pride, but the scales has been removed eyes. I see the light! My eyes provide light and it roams through my body, outshining all the darkness out my body, and its all because of God’s grace.
As a little girl to a young woman, I’ve come to realize how prideful and arrogant I was over the years of my life. Many accolades and awards from school filled my body with pride, and made me believe that it was because of my doings that I received these awards. Many times I would feel like I was better than people, because I was using it as a mask to hide my insecurities of not being pretty enough and popular. This would also explain my desire to be famous and be a superstar. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t feel its wrong to desire to be famous, but if its for the right reasons.
You guessed it, I didn’t have the right reasons.
I was too eager of worldly attention, and acting upon vain glory. It even got worse as I began to consume my time with scrolling on social media platforms to fulfill the void in my heart. Oh, how lost I was and didn’t even know it. But there is a God that I serve and loves me so much He got me and check real fast!
One day I was aggravated over a research paper I had to finish in order to graduate college. I was also scrolling through social media again, filling the void. God got tired of the idolatry, lustfulness, and pridefulness and humbled me by taking away my phone (which I had to wait for a replacement for 3 weeks), unemployment, and less money in my bank account. It was devastating and humiliating.
Through God’s grace, I overcame these troubles. Prayer became apart of my daily life and meditation of God’s words. I’ve come to realize that Go loves us all no matter if we stray away from Him. He brings the sunshine in our lives and gives us light.
Our God is merciful and will take his time with you like He did me. I love the Lord that humbles me of my prideful ways. He cared about me so much that He disciplined me to be humble and obedient to Him.
Indulge in the Word of God and share your light to others, in Jesus name , Amen!
