Testimony: Im-glad-he-chose-me

Jesus freak's testimony "Im-glad-he-chose-me" on 2/23/2013, 2:27am...

Let me rephrase what I've heard about testimonies. They are life changing stories in one's life that trigger faith in another person’s life. I was born into a Hindu family. I've been in and out of Christian hostel schools ever since I could remember. So it was obvious that the first God I ever knew was Jesus. I remember going back home on summer vacations and on some nights before going to bed, as was in practice in the hostel, I used to say the Our Father. I didn't realize few years ago, that my mother found that going to a Christian school was changing my faith. But who can change a 7 year old's faith? She brought videos of the Sri Krishna series. I'd watch but just for the fun of it. Growing up, I was sexually abused by my father. Parents still took us to the ISCKON Centre but my heart wasn't there. I was physically present but mentally absent.
When I started working, I'd always pass by a local church, without my parents knowledge, lighting candles praying and crying about troubles at that time, but I knew and always felt His presence in me and around me. I loved Him more and more as I visited that church.
Few months later I travelled to another city. But before leaving, my mom didn't forget to take me to the temple, give me the Hanuman Chalisa book, and entrust me; to date, I don't know where it is!!
Long story cut short, I accepted Jesus in 2010. I've asked Him to teach me to forgive my father for all that he did to me. In my gladness, I'd text a verse to them, they asked me to stop it, but now I've left it in His hands, I believe He will call them at His right time.
Early 2012 I lost a very good job, searched all over, waited for calls promised, none that materialized. When He gives you options, we really need to ask for wisdom. I took an offer that looked lucrative, but that place was shabby, dirty in all possible ways. It was his way of telling me "this is not what you want". I'm glad He taught me a lesson, I was out of there within 16 days, lost my second job.
I remember reading The Word : when you choose something that isn't blessed by Him, you will go through it, but it will be like looking for things in the dark. And then He decides to remove you from that situation knowing exactly how you will be feeling, but that's for a very short time until He makes sure this time He takes you to the place He chooses!! He is awesome. Sometimes he works in miraculous ways and I know He's cracking up there when He pulls a joke on me. I love Him, most times I fall, I know my name is written on the palm of His hand and came to save the lost.
My parents are not happy with my choice nor my partner and they blame him for converting me. I didn't change for him, He chose me, as says book of John.
My parents look at me like I'm foolish but I know in due time, they will know who God is, because there is none like Him. I love Him more every day because every time I call unto Him, whether He answers me now or later, I know He is around.
Praise God. Amen.
