My Testimony
-- I rely on God for my entire life
Ladies and Gentlemen, Sisters and Brothers:
My name is L. My wife is V. We have a daughter, L. She is 10 years old. We came from China.
I once had a broken marriage. It was God saved my marriage and my family.
16 years age, I met a beautiful girl and we got married 2 years later. She was my wife V. I tried to be a good husband, but I failed. We had many different habits, opinions, and interests. I always asked her why she didn』t understand me, and I tried to change her. The result was we began to be angry at each other.
I read a lot of books about marriage, tried to find some ways to help my marriage. But it was useless. I thought if we had more money it would be better, but it did not work. I thought if we had a child we would stop to quarrel with each other, but it didn』t change. I thought if we moved to a new place the problems perhaps would be resolved, so we moved to Shanghai – a bigger city in China, but again we began fighting with each other.
In China, there is a slang saying: 「Marriage is the tomb of love,」 It means when you got married, your love will end. At that time, I believed it was true. I was like a sheep, lost my way.
I didn』t know God. I didn』t know Jesus Christ. I didn』t know the Good News. I was living for myself, and doing what I want to do.
And then we applied to immigrate to Canada. At that time, I still believed if I could earn more money, my life would be better. But one week before we came to Canada, we separated, because I couldn』t stand her anymore.
When we arrived in Canada, we ended up living in two different cities. Some friends introduced me to learning English in Church. I began to come to the Church every Friday night. I learned English song from the Church. I remembered the first song I learned was 「Amazing Grace - how sweet the sound」. I learned the pronunciation from D.I. She was so nice. I met many teachers and friends, but I never told my situation to anyone. At that time, I began to know God. I knew the God was looking for me. But I refused, because in China, since my childhood, I have learned this song: 「There is no Savior in this world, and we should be saved by ourselves」.
Although 3 months late, my wife and I got together again through friends』 help, but we still got angry at each other. I never forgave wrong things what she had done to me. 3 months late, we separated again. But this time, God came to save us. I think this was a miracle. Right on the day when we separated, my wife and I took my daughter to learn piano. This was first time we met my daughter』s piano teacher – a Christian. She found out our situation and immediately told us: 「Both of you have to know God.」 And then she spent several hours to tell us her story: how the Lord saved her marriage when she and her husband had similar situation like us. On the following day, the piano teacher brought us to a Sunday service and to study the Bible in the church. Since that day, I have been going to church to worship God and study the Bible.
I know that God loves me so much that He sent his only Son – Lord Jesus Christ – died upon the Cross, for me, and for my sin. I know I have sinned in my thoughts and actions. I am sorry for my sin and ask His forgiveness. One day, I prayed to Lord Jesus Christ and asked Him to come into my heart, come in as my Saviour to cleanse me. I became a Christian. Since that time, my life began to change.
I attended 「A Christian Home」 marriage class. I learned a lot from the Bible: 「Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.」 (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). I learned how to love my wife, how to love other people, as Jesus loves me. When I feel angry, I pray to God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ: Lord, please help me to calm down, and help me control myself. When I recall her past actions, I pray to God: Lord, help me to take those things aside, throw them out from my mind, and do not let them bother me anymore. In the beginning, it was really difficult, but God always help me to go through the troubles.
3 months later, my wife, my daughter and I moved to a new home. And we have been living together until now. Every morning, when I leave home, I always give a kiss to my wife. She likes it. She is really happy for this. It is sure. My daughter always reminds me to do this. She likes we have a happy family.
Before, I never believe miracles, but now, I believe. God is a living God. When I pray, He always answers. Whenever I am close to God, my family is better, and whenever I am far from God, there are always some problems in my family. I believe there would be no love and peace in my home without God. I rely on God in my entire life.
Now, I really want to thank each and everyone who has helped me. If I mention all their names, it will take you a whole night. I think Pastor did not permit me to do this. And other people are waiting to stand here. Anyway, I want to pray now:
Dear heaven father, thank you, thank you for every amazing thing that you have done in my life. Thank you for sending sisters and brothers to help me. I trust you because you are a living God. I know I am whom you love. I will serve you all the remaining years of my life. Pray in Lord Jesus Christ』s Holy name. Amen.
