I was born a Christian but I became close to God when I am 3rd-year high school. A kind woman offered me for a free bible study which I said “yes”. I accepted it not because I am really willing, I just find it easier to say “yes”. I also thought that she will forget about it because at the back of my mind, I am thinking that only a martyr will waste their time for someone that has nothing to give back to them.
But I am wrong, she keeps her promises. She patiently taught me everything that I need to know, things that I only heard for the first time. It feels like I am a whole new person. I also enjoyed the company of my fellow Christians. They are all nice and a good role model because of how passionate they are in serving God.
I must grow. They helped me to improve my knowledge of God. I attended classes on how to talk with people about God. It’s very informative. They are giving each of us a certain topic about the Bible and it’s our assignment to make a simple role-playing on how it can be presented to the public. After doing it, the Elders will give their friendly criticisms.
How it affects my perception, attitude, and personality?
Better is a dish of vegetables where there is love than a fattened bull where there is hatred. (Proverbs 15:17) I don’t compare myself to anyone knowing that we are all God’s children so we are brothers and sisters by heart. Upon knowing it, we must understand each other and be considerate of one’s feelings.
When a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses. (Luke 12:15) Spiritual foods coming from the Bible are more important than owning expensive materials.
You children, be obedient to your parents in everything, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord. (Colossians 3:20) I love my parents so much that’s why I give most of my earnings to support my family. I just want them to relax and I keep on telling that I will take care of them from now on.
Who of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his lifespan? (Matthew 6:27) It made me realize that instead of worrying about problems, I should find solutions and be positive as well.
Happy are those hearing the word of God and keeping it. (Luke 11:28). The Bible Student became a Bible Preacher. I still have many things to learn but I’m trying my best to share it with them. I want to show that life is beautiful with the help of the Holy Scriptures. I now understand why I said “yes” back then, He called me. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
I am the 2nd to the last, the woman wearing white long sleeves with a black skirt.
