Many of us surrender our lives to God and start a lifetime relationship with Him as a direct result of a traumatic experience in our lives. Though a relationship with the creator is the best one any human can have, I honestly believe God would prefer if we just tried to understand His agape love for us and choose Him as a result.
In the book of 1 John 4:18 we learn that God’s perfect love for us drives out all fear and that we can love because He (love in its purest most potent form) first loved us.
I am happy to have come to know one such individual who is a testimony of this! She didn’t need trauma to surrender to God. She simply learned about God’s intentions for her and embraced Him.
Meet Debbie Henry:
What was life like before you surrendered to God?
“As a babe in Christ for the past two (2) and a half years, for most of my life, I had considered myself an Anglican. -Until I truly understood the purpose of the church, which is to teach how to find and maintain a personal relationship with our creator.”
Why did you surrender to God?
“Through no circumstance of mine but that of a friend and sister I was introduced to a leader who made this (teaching) his daily quest. Being taught and influenced by a new spiritual teacher, I was made to understand that I have life so that I could seek a closer relationship with my Heavenly Father by offering praise and worship daily, not once a week on Sunday.”
How has the journey been since then?
“As I continued to attend church and apply the teachings, I wanted more and more to live in eternity with my Father. So, I began being transformed into a new creature that knows her purpose. To live in Christ so I may die in Him and no longer just live to die!”
Debbie has been a very instrumental member of her ministry since her walk we God took a new turn. She does her service in ministry with a spirit of excellence and has touched many lives with her pleasant, genuine and charitable heart. Though what she does she prefers to keep between her and God, she is currently wholeheartedly managing one of the most critical ministries at her church!
We thank God for such an amazing soul and pray that her testimony can inspire others to know that you do not have to wait until you have no hope to give your life to God, but you can receive His love at any time and truly “live
to die in God,” so you can enjoy eternal life with Him after!
