Jesus found me💖
it started last year, on December. where I was suddenly felt a bit lost in my faith, that I can totally felt and living spiritually weak and dry. I was relying on my own strength, my own understanding and everything I do on my own accord and living for this world.
Then I came upon with YouTube where I was suddenly and randomly touched by God's hand, to the point where I was crying the whole time watching and listening the random vid about a YouTube page about God is calling you, out of nowhere it pops up to my feed in YouTube and then after hearing and watching that vid, I was given a grace of God of curiosity.
A curiosity to seek Him, God is so amazing! and that I was automatically drawn and started to seek Him, like from that moment, I got curious to started searching bible stories in youtube, where I watched a lot of series of animated videos of Bible stories.
Then iykyk that the algorithm in Internet like Youtube, Tiktok or other soc med that the algo had this automatic appearance that whatever you are watching or listening it’ll pop up in your feed, then on January, that random day I came upon with the sermon video of Pastor Bong of CCF yt channel, then again, because of curiosity that God sustained me with, I watched the whole video, mind you my attention span is not that really good lol, then I was watching it and I finished watching it that truly moved my soul, in a way that I got rebuke of that Sunday preach of Pastor Bong, and especially it talks about the "Sovereignty of God"
Wow, how amazing our Lord is, Praise God!💖
In this way, Your way you let me encounter this sermon for a reason, and you just started me waking me from the reality. and I learned lot from that video, too much to mention and to the point where I got pen and my journal notebook to write what I have learned from that video.
Actually, I have this journal notebook cause I really love writing journal since 2022, I started journaling my everyday life, then after watching that video, I suddenly wrote the learnings I got, it's like the Holy Spirit intercedes me and let me wrote with so much enthusiasm where it changes my perspective about faith, seeing different lens of people lives, how God moves their life, hearing their stories, testimonies!
And guess what? I cried and cried to the Lord, and prayed to Him how He just moved me in the most unexpected way of getting to know Him! You are truly amazing God!
I was moved indeed by the Holy Spirit, it's the way God spoke to you, and how wonderful God can moved and speak to you!💖
Praise God!💖
In February, I decided to watch a lot of CCF Sunday service sermons, where I started to get curious more and more to seek God, Did you know, what's more amazing?
The moment you seek more of Him, the more He reveals Himself to you, and so I started reading the Bible, I bought Bible from my allowance hehe, then came next I bought Bible Journal where I wrote learn about God's Word, and I used the S. O. A. P. method, iykyk, truly amazing our Lord is! from Journaling my life from 2022 to now Journaling life with Him!💖
Life fulfilling and truly worth it to be with God in everything!💖
He started to put a fire in my heart, then He sustained it, and keep it burning!
Yes, because of that, mga April and this month, I fully surrendered my life to Jesus!💖
I visited CCF Ormoc church and there I met new Christ-centered people, prayed for me, and introduced me more of Jesus! and the day I surrendered my life to Him! in CCF church!
Praise God!💖
It's been a journey indeed, it wasn't easy at all, especially that following Him will totally cost something but how different? You will live now for Him! He will be with you and the peace and love that He offers you is indeed one of the most greatest reward you'll receive from Him when you fully commit and surrendered your life to Him!
Before I met Him, I was totally living for this world where it take me to a self-centered person, selfish, dishonest, a sinful woman who lived without Jesus in her life, experienced anxiety, who procrastinate a lot, living in her own accord.
And that changed because God saved me, He found me and the best decision I ever got?
That saying YES to Him!
The willingness that He gave me and it leads me now living for Him.
To fully surrendered my life to Him, and letting Him lead you, fully trusting Him, for His ways are always better!
Amen!
I'm Emerly, a young adult who live before in a selfish manner of this world,
To now, slowly and keeping transformed by His, Through His grace, All Glory belongs to Him!
He saved me, He found me.
I am a child of God, I am worthy not because of who I am, but because of who God is!
To God be the Glory!
I hope this story finds you well, and my story is not my story, It was all God's story in my life!
