Praise to our heavenly father. He gave us his only son Jesus Christ, so I can come to know God. I know God is the creator of the world. Every human being is enjoying his grace daily. Today I declare to the world that I am God's child. My salvation is by grace through faith. I want to be baptized into Jesus Christ.
I was born in mainland China. The Chinese Cultural Revolution started when I was still a kid. I was involuntarily and reluctantly involved into it. During those ten years, the society was like lawless and without government. People stabbed each other's back. Everyone lived in fear and everyone lied to survive. No one trusted anyone, not even his/her closest family member. Husband betrayed wife;wife betrayed husband;parents betrayed children;children betrayed parents. All the dark and evil sides of human nature were revealed. People did so to show their loyalty to chairman Mao,Zedong. Mao started his political campaign,which he called Cultural Revolution, to strike down his communist comrades, so that his absolute power and authority is secure and not challenged. In many citizen's heart, Mao is like their God. They worshiped him religiously. Even today, many people hang Mao's picture at their home or in their car.
During the Cultural Revolution, hundreds of thousands of families were broken. Thousands of people died. Those survivors were left with deep wounds in their souls. My family and myself were hurt as well.
Eventually Mao died, just like everyone's destiny. The Cultural Revolution ended after his death. Mao destroyed all the ideals and stole everyone's faith and worship for himself. After his death, the communism burble became to burst. Many people found out there is nothing to believe in. I grew up like this. My heart and soul were seeking healing and peace, but could not find them anywhere. Many people regard money and materialism as their way out. You can imagine what a society it is like.
In 1998, I immigrated to Canada with my husband and my son. I began to know Christians and Bible. In 2005, my husband found a job in the United States,so we moved there. God created in me a seeking heart. Somehow I just looking for Chinese speaking Christian fellowship. God led me to the Chinese fellowship. In October 2005, the brothers and sisters in that fellowship led me and my son prayed and accepted Jesus into our hearts as Lord and savior. I cried when I prayed. It was like coming home to see the father who had waited so long for me. My past harship prepared my heart to seek the Creator. I believe Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.No one comes to the father except through Him.
May glory be to God the father, his Son Jesus Christ,and the Holy Spirit.
