Dear sisters, have been thinking to share my testimony in this group since long, today only could spend time to do it. I am a FGB. My husband is working in infy. When I was doing my masters in the year 2013 I happened to meet a girl named sheena, through her I came to know the Lord.
Sheena was different from anyother person whom I had met.
I found her always being joyful, different from others in her way of speech, manners etc. These qualities attracted me to make friendship with her and also started attending a small gathering in one of my seniors room where sheena used to attend everyday @8 pm(just to spend some time with sheena). There, they sing songs, read a portion from bible and pray.
The very thing which attracted me initially is they pray for the needs of someone whom they had not even seen. Bcox till then I have not prayed for anyone else except for myself and my parents. Also they pray for very trivial things even. I wondered God must be busy in doing great things why would he concern about such trivial things about us they are praying for. As time went by I understood the God whom they are praying to is different from the one whom I had been praying till then
I understood this God whom they are worshipping is loving, caring and is concerned even about the smallest things of our life. So I started liking the gathering and as I wanted to know more about the God of the bible, I started going regularly(this time not for sheena but to know the Lord). Then I learnt the Lord hates sin but loves sinners. I understood that I am a sinner and I needed a savior.
By then I got my job and posting in Bangalore and badly wanted to attend any such gathering in Bangalore. Through a common fren got to meet a family at Bangalore. They invited me to their house a lot of times and shared the gospel very clearly. My hubby also was in Bangalore ( not wedded then). Though he is from a Christian background and a church goer, he also heard the glorious gospel of the Lord for the first time through this family at Bangalore. Lord had enabled us to open our hearts and receive him as our Lord and savior.
After which we were married in sep 2014. Though I am from a hindu background. My father agreed to marry a Christian and had not shown any opposition for me to follow Jesus Christ. Though there were problems Lord’s hand was upon us all the time.
Now we are married for 3 years 3 months and waiting for the Lord's time for the blessing of fruit of womb. I have some health issues and am taking fertility treatment. Please uphold us in your prayers. Lord has been faithful all these days taking care of us, protecting and guiding us, meeting our needs. Though we lack certain earthly blessings, Lord had satisfied my soul with his peace during all situations. During all these days, Lord has also chastised me in many areas, moulding me and helping me to grow in him.
Please pray for my parents to know the Lord and be saved. I thank Lord for helping me share my testimony.
Sorry for so much details about Sheena, mentioned all that just to highlight how someone's life can influence and lead us to Christ and be saved.
