from our very own treasurer 2009, Nushka Lim!
I was born in an ordinary family with no religion backgrounds. I'm not one of the many other families who uphold any form of prayers. Being told by my aunt that my mom actually knelt and prayed to the Buddhist gods, and that i was born because of that, I ought to pray to them as well.
Well, what do I know?
Naively I thought to myself, I go the temple I must be Buddhist! But I listen to Christian song, so I am a Christian ... as well?
Until at the age of 11, my cousin invited me for a church camp. CAMP, must be fun right? Who would've thought it was really biblical and putting the fear of God in me? It was a night where the speaker shared some of the important verses in the bible. Like being saved, be in enternal glory and lake of fire. Surprisingly that night, I was incredibly awake listening to every word! The lake of fire caught my attention and then it led to salvation.
Then I ponder upon the verses in the bible ; revelation, immediately that night to read the whole chapter. I couldn't sleep right, too many doubts running through.
The next morning we had a brief discussion about last night's service in my group. I listened to what everyone has to say, about the only way out, the only way to not be damned in the lake of fire, is to believe with all your heart and trust in the Lord Jesus.
Something struck me, that I had to pray and repent. I waited until that very night, the only think in my head was
'I got to do it, I got to pray, I have to!'
The night came, I waited for people in my dorm to be asleep. And when I'm pretty sure they're because I heard snores (lol) I got up and prayed for salvation. It was something that I needed most, and it was undoubtedly the best decision ever made ; I'm one of the children of God. I was utterly relieved, and could sleep very, very soundly that night.
That very night was dated 10th October 2003. Until today, I could never quite fathom how great is God.
Wo can ever lay His precious life and wash our sins with blood?
I've never heard of any other gods who had done it
Who can ever make a deal with the devil but God Himself?
And all we have to do was just give Him our heart where trust come from.
A good bargain, I suppose?
My testimony isn't something like a life changing experience or anything cool. To me, it was a small yet precious thing that happened.
To sit and ponder upn His mighty works amazes me in every way.
Our God is BIG!
Our God is GOOD!
