I was a Hindu and all my siblings had accepted Christ except for me and my mum. They had ministered to me about Christ many times but I never listened. I was more like a free thinker. I thought that God was only for weak people. Last year, I got to know a Catholic guy and we were about to get married this year, March. Our parents met and the date too was fixed. We agreed to have a Church and Temple wedding.

After some time, things were beginning to fall apart and I was losing faith in our relationship. But I tried all I could, to keep it going. But it came to a point that we broke up and my whole world came crashing down. I was in my darkest moments in life. I had no one to cry and talk to. My brother was counseling me and talked to me about Jesus and told me stories from the bible. As my boyfriend was a Catholic, I thought Jesus could help me and I turned to him for help. I cried and prayed to Jesus to fix our relationship. To my amazement that very day after I had prayed, my boyfriend called and spoke to me. He wanted to start all over again. I was really amazed and thanked God for it.

Following that, every little thing that I prayed and asked God, He granted me. And He spoke to me through people from nowhere and through sermons. That built my faith in Jesus even more. But soon, I began to realise that this relationship will not last. And just as I thought, we broke up silently. But this time I was strong and I knew that it was only because of Jesus. He strengthened me and gave me courage to go through this. Even my friends noticed the change in me. Since then, I gave my life to Jesus. I will speak to him daily in my prayer and he was the only friend I had who understood what I was going through.

Today I’ve overcome from that situation and I am truly happy now. Nowadays, I always share my experiences of Jesus with my non Christian friends and I just pray that they will also find happiness and meaning in their lives through Christ. Now I’m baptized and have committed myself to Jesus completely. With Jesus in my life, I feel so happy. God is good all the time!
