Living Life Loved
I’m an international student and have been studying in Singapore for nine years. When I entered polytechnic, my mother who had been with me had to go back home, and I was left to take care of myself.
Soon after she left, I had a major emotional breakdown as I couldn’t adjust. I was also physically exhausted as I had to juggle between school and a part-time job.
Things got so bad that I couldn’t attend school for two weeks. At work, I would get angry over minute things and scold my customers, colleagues and even my managers. I felt extremely apprehensive and hopeless. There were days when little things would drive me to tears, and it was hard to see any way out. I hated myself for being like that.
I was attending a church at that time. However, I did not fully understand the Lord’s love for me. I developed a bitterness towards God as I felt like He did not care about my feelings.
During this time, Pastor Prince’s sermons kept coming to mind. Earlier in the year, I had watched his sermons and I did not expect that his messages would bear witness to my spirit, and linger in my heart and mind.
I decided to attend New Creation Church, just to try it out. On Sunday, 17 December 2017, I attended the 4th service alone. After that service, I felt an unspeakable peace. I started to attend more regularly and in 2018, I made New Creation Church my home church. I also joined a care group for youths.
Today, by God’s grace, I am receiving more and more revelations of God’s unreserved love for me. In the past, I used to try very hard to get right with God, but now, I know that I am totally forgiven, eternally righteous and forever accepted because of Jesus’ finished work. Whenever worrisome thoughts hit me, I would always remind myself that God loves me. Thank you, Pastor Prince, for preaching on the pure grace of God! It has transformed my life.
