Praise be to god alone.
Am basically from Hindu background and very orthodox in all religious activity... one day I went to my native place where my cousin told me about the Christ the lord..that was the FIRST time I heard about the words CHRIST ,SAVIOUR , SIN,HEAVEN,HELL SECOND COMING etc.
Initially I didn't agree with her ....I came back from my native ... and the following is the first incident which gave me some hope(not more) in Christ...while am studying 9th, There was a district level speech competition held and I had the interest to participate in that but here comes the twist .. I had a severe throat infection and then I decided to give up... but my teachers said lets give a try... then I thought ok let me pray and see what will happen(severe throat pain even am struggling to speak,district level competition etc...)i just prayed(2 mins of prayer) i want to win this competition... not in faith but I tried wat will happen if I pray... There were 2 rounds of competition ..
To my surprise I cleared first round.... I thought I may fail in the second round bcz those people in that round are so strong but still I prayed(very little faith) but I WON the FIRST PLACE in the district level competition and got the reward of 3000 in addition and the same came in newspaper as well..my faith started blooming ...
I realised something happens if we pray .. The next day we had one more speech competition in government schools and my teachers said it is very tough bcz u have throat infection and u cant... this time i said i can...and started to pray (few mins) i should win this also.... I didn't thought i would win but i got the FIRST PLACE in that as well.... my faith increased 20%..as the days passed by the circumstances in my family was worst....
I started praying bcz I want to get rid of problems in any way (I use to pray only for few seconds keeping the incident of competition in my mind that something will happen but my faith is not so strong).... since my family is so orthodox i didn't find any church in my home town... that time my faith is 40% .
Then wen I entered my college I found a girl who believes in christ in my hostel and to my surprise she was in my room. Later I started to know more about the lord and salvation...(LOVE AT THE CROSS CHANGED ME)... took baptism etc.....am a third child in my family and my family was not happy on my birth because am a girl...(But they are so so loveable)... but lord chosen me as his first fruit....when world rejects god selects..... i think my mom said some christian nurse prayed for me wen I born in the hospital... from the day I born god took care of me but like everyone I don't know him on that time .... one day am about to travel from chennai to my home town ... with no reason i didn't get any bus and am getting delayed for more than 2 hours... i then prayed thinking I may get the bus soon but no use....finally after 3 hours I got the bus and seat....
There was one sister ( she also got delayed 1 hour with no reason) who was sitting behind me ... Then I started the conversation like 'are u a christian' ...she replied yes... and she s a daughter of the pastor in my home town.. that was the first time i saw her....we started sharing things and I got the address of the church to go...(god is so faithful NOW I GOT THE REASON FOR DELAY).. if something is delayed god is preparing for the best .. thank god for not answering my prayer that time..delay is not a denial....all i need to do is to trust him ... if I got the bus soon I may not got the chance to meet her... god used her as a blessing in my life(I explained her role below).. ...people in my college use to criticise me and my friends for not mingling with them in worldly activities...some times later my spiritual friends went to stay outside for project work but I stayed in hostel ... loneliness made me a mad but god was with me ... no one spoke with me properly but god spok spoke to me through his word Isaiah 41:10 ...fear not , for AM WITH YOU... THOSE WHO TRUST IN THE LORD will never be put to shame ...
God honours who trust in him..God blessed me as the anna university rand holder and Jesus helped me to get 27th university rank all over Tamil nadu.. my college honoured by giving a gold medal on convocation day in front of those people...That s jesus.....faithful one... then there was a campus interview in my college ... wipro was the first on campus company from the day my college started... thank god for arranging on campus for our batch while we are studing in final year.bcz there was no on campus for the past 7 years... this is the first time... am very weak in aptitude and I don't want to be put to shame in front of those people ... so i woke up around 3 in the morning and said to god ... m very weak in aptitude but please help to get through this.. out of around 400 people only 79 cleared apps .. praise to god am one among 79... out of 79 only 32 cleared technical and HR... and am one among 32.. so god chose me one among 400...(AM NOT EVEN A RANK HOLDER AT THAT TIME TO SAY THEY SELECTED ME BECAUSE OF RANK HOLDER) ...This proved me if god wants to give something it doesn't matter who are against us and how many are against us...He will prove he is your Iord..
I called unto the lord he heard me ..Hence proved..... I lacked nothing from the day I started my journey with Jesus...Days passed and wen I joined my work in chennai there was a prayer cell and god thought me more about trials,faith,gods love,gods will etc....my parents started seeing me alliance and they asked me about my thoughts.... I started saying about my faith in Christ with fear.... they scolded and threatened me and after 3 years they gave 3 months time for me finally to accept wat they say..... Holy spirit guided and comforted me in all my waiting period ... His word was the only trust in me....
God made me to put fasting and to pray earnestly for those 3months ..later to my surprise god turned my parents heart to fulfill my desire.... Even now I was surprised how they changed their minds..The sister whom I met in the bus called me and told like am seeing an alliance for you all I need is u have to get permission from ur parents...I prayed lord definitely my mom will not allow for this (to allow someone to see alliance for her daughter is difficult)... but god made to put fast and pray for this... I remembered queen Esther got a favour from the king when she spoke... i claimed this verse lord u please speak to my mom and teach me how should i talk...holy spirit guided me and i called my mom to get the permission to see the alliance through that sister....when i told my mom she immediately said YES...bible rocks .. bible is always true...i thanked god for esther chapter....God honours the one who waits on him patiently ..... i asked god i should get the person with 6 specific character.... but i surrendered to the lord 100%... Finally I got married to the god fearing one who had all the 6 specific character...wen i surrender the situation to the lord and rest in him...he took care of the situation and helped me to reach the beautiful destiny but all i need to pay is patience and faith..once I got married I came to Delhi and am more concerned on the job because we don't have our office branch here..but I just prayed and surrendered ... I got married in February and the office branch got opened in march....I realised wat a awesome god I serve...for worldly people it may be different... but I considered it is god who opened the office for me ... specially for me.... Many times I saw the battle from the day of my salvation... but I fought nothing ... the battle belongs to the lord and he gave me victory..... wait on the lord for he is faithful to honour.... This is very crisp testimony ... I failed the lord many times but he never failed me and he proved he is same yesterday,today and tomorrow... can anyone love us like Jesus.... I really doubt... none can love us and care for us except him...All praise,glory,honour be to lord the god alone....
