Welcome to David Chen's testimony
A testimony to man, to angels, to God
Well, where should I start.... I basically born in a Christian family, but...
I didn't really put God in my life, or to put myself, my trust in Him.
I guess one never start to search God unless he/she feel needed. I personal know it is not up to me, but it's all by my Almighty God's grace to bring to know Him and believe in Him and now live with Him. I first thank my parents to bring me to church since I have memory. Throughtout my elementary years, the learning I get from the Sunday school is really the background of God's work in me later on. Yet, I just know about Him, but not really know Him. Deep in my heart, I have this fear for the Lord and trying to be good before God and before man. My sister's baptism when I was almost 9 brought a deep impact in me about commit my life to Jesus.. However, that decision came till when I was in High school in U.S. During the five years between that, I am basically either just be a unregular church goers with my parents and sisters, hopping churches all around the South Bay Area or just don't go to church at all. And that was my darkness time in my life, the life without having God.
In the sophmore of my high school at Monta Vista, Cupertino, CA, I came to the realization that there is no LOVE, no TRUTH in this world, in man, that I want to search for and be satisfy by. In the time when all my friends and fmaily can't understand me, when everything seems so hopeless and empty, when the meaning and purpose of life is uncertain and unsatifsy, I saw the Light. God helps me to bring back my "short-term" memory, he helps me to recall the things that I learn about God when I was a child in Sunday school. The story of Jesus, of prophets, and all the bible verses that I memorized b/c of the rewards.. all came to me to form the image of my Saviour Jesus Christ. As soon as I find Jesus could be the way to my life, the last way before I choose to die, I try all I can to know Him and simply believe Him. He is faithful and love, and He reveal Himself to me, around me in my life..., and He proves Himself who He was, is and will be, every words that He speaks in Bible, all speaks to me and comes alive, not just the knowledge that back in my childhood memory. And for the next five years, I have been a Christian... and He is still my God , my love, and forevermore..
.. (to be continued/completed...)
P.s. Please feel free to response, to share, or to ask regarding to my testimony of what God has done to/for me. This is my goal to share the most perosnal side of me to you, so that you may be how real, how deep His love , His existence is.. and come to know Him more and more. I also hope you can get encourage by it by the blessing that God give thru. me. In His name, I will all glory and praise that He deserves! Amen.
