Broken Family Restored

When I was young, my parents divorced and left me with my grandparents. Later, I stayed with my parents’ remarried families. I started searching for people who would love me and it was a search that was never ending. I could not find the love that would replace the parental love I never had and I was deeply hurt.

I was brought up to pray a daily family prayer with my grandparents and had to go to church on Sundays. I knew that there was a God, but I never realized that He was with me. So when I saw my peers living happily together with their parents as a family, I felt that God had treated me unfairly and this bothered me very much.

Because of this, I grew up with hard feelings toward God. I tried to cover up these feelings but the hurt in my heart was not healed. After completing my education, I got married and had a child. But after five years of marriage, my heart turned bitter, and my life started going downhill. My family fell apart as I had no love to share. It was a great mess. I felt that there was no way my life could be fixed as everyone hated me and I hated myself.

At this point, Jesus intervened in my life. He took me through a process of redemption and changed me. A few months later, I surrendered my life to Jesus and started watching Pastor Prince’s messages and meditating on the Word. His messages answered many unanswered childhood questions that were stumbling blocks in my life. The verse, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free,” (John 8:32) has become true in my life.

I can now see a new ray of grace within me. I am released from the burden of sin and have experienced freedom in my life. Now, I am completely restored. God has mended my family and given them back to me—it is as if I had a brand new family. I am living happily and enjoying His grace daily. Jesus has given His love to me through the cross and now I can live life loving others in return.

May God anoint Pastor Prince much more, so that many lives can be restored!
