Grace changes everything
My mom always talked about God, but the struggles that we went through pushed me so far that I didn’t believe there was a loving God. I didn’t want anything to do with what my mom had talked about. I wanted to establish that I had my own [identity].I was anti-Christian. I never saw anything attractive in the people who said they were Christians. All I saw from Christianity among the people was judgment and hypocrisy. I didn’t feel acceptance from people. I didn’t feel loved. I didn’t see grace at all.
When I understood grace, it made me believe in a loving God. I saw God chasing me and loving me through the events in my life. I was ready to give up. God showed himself in that moment, and I experienced Him as a personal God. For the first time, I was in His presence. I understood who I was and how imperfect the love that I thought I had from my boyfriend and family members was. God’s love is so much beyond what I could have imagined.
