My Personal Story Part 1:
When I was in college at the age of 19 I got married that was year 2003. I experienced painful and dark days in life though I graduated in catholic school in high school since me and my family were devoteed catholic but life is so empty, meaningless and lonely. I thought that my married life endeed broken. We always quarrel with my wife and at young age imagine we have two children to raised. No relationship with the Lord Jesus, No reading the bible. You know the difficulties? money foods shelter and other basic needs that I need to provide but doesn't have work. But God rescued me.
Everytime we went to catholic church to attend mass theres missing something. I keep asking to God please show me the way I keep on praying, theres more than this I am seeking for something it seems like I am searching something but I dont know.
The Bible:
In my mothers house theres an occupant who end his/her contract since my mom had a simple room for rent that time who left the Gospel of John. My mom got it but left unread, until there's a prompting in my heart to read the gospel of John. I read it carefully and heartilly. I remember theres a text said "admit that you need help" it strikes my heart, then I read heartilly the sinners prayer that I prayed and accepted the Lord as Savior.
The excitement:
I remember first night when I read the Gospel of John I felt that Joy and was so excited to read more. When I am at the office working I keep thinking the book I read that I must finish ot. Second night I read and the last, the third night I finished reading around 9 in the evening I just can't hold my tears I am weaping crying watching my wife and my two children sleeping, realizing how I destroy my own family. I cried most when I realized how sinner I am but God sent His to die for me sothat I can go to Heaven. What a love, what a love, amazing grace. To GOD Be The Glory!
Thank You For Reading & God-Bless Everyone.

There are many ways God can do to get to know Him personally. I was also a Catholic, diligent worship but did not know the Word of God. It is the wonder of God that draws us into His plan, as in John 15:16. It is not us who choose Him but He who chooses us.
Amen Praise the Lord Jesus.
Bless you brother! Thank you for sharing your testimony.
