My Testimonies and Learnings

Testimony #1

Nasubok ung pagiging follower ko kay Jesus, yung faithfulness and obedience ko sa Kanya.

I realized today how powerful God's love is and how He can change our hearts and transform our lives. Yesterday, 3.13.21, something "bad" happened. Nagkaroon ako ng offender. He posted my personal info (name, student number and signature) sa isang fb group ng school namin. I was humiliated and made fun of. Kung tutuusin, I can sue him kasi against the law un (data privacy policy).

But praise God talaga! By His grace, I was reminded of His great love for me. If God has forgiven me as many times as I ask for His forgiveness, who am I not to forgive my debtors too? Memories recalled at the back of my head. Jesus died for my sins. He took the shame for me. He died on the cross for my sins!

So I cried my heart out to God. Iyak lang ako sa banyo and I prayed to God na patawarin Niya ung nagkasala dahil sakin at patawarin Niya rin ako kasi naging dahilan pa ako ng kasalanan ng iba. My friends told me wala akong kasalanan but I felt accountable for the sin people committed because of me.

You know, one thing that drove me to forgiving others is the love of God. God has been so kind and gracious to me. I want that kind of heart that Jesus has. I want to forgive my offenders like how God forgives me. I want to love like Jesus: true love and unconditional. Kasi kung selfish ako, di ko alam at na-experience ang love and forgiveness ni Lord, pedeng idemanda ko ung nagpahiya sakin. But because God showed mercy and grace to me, I want to share those to other people too (whether they are difficult or not). I was able to forgive my schoolmate because God's love is greater than the shame the offender caused me. 1 Corinthians 13:5 love does not keep record of wrong. It was reminded to me na when we forgive, we forget. Di na tayo nagrerecord ng nagawang kasalanan sa atin. Doon pa lang, I know God changed my heart! He is my perfect example and a role model. ^_^ to God be all the glory!!
