This is a billboard along the avenue I pass by when headed off to work. I used to ignore it, but now... I want to say it with so much pride.
Before I met Jesus I was a mess. Got molested by my uncle and cousin. Drank to death. Plotted murderous revenge against people. Wished that someone's baby would die because of jealousy. Cursed my own cousin because of a man. Used to say a lot of cuss words.
I was a homosexual that time, looking for love in other men. I often ended up heartbroken and that was why I was so consumed with hate and anger. I attempted suicide many times and bore so many grudges. I even led a believer to sin and rebel against his parents. I was just so evil that time I thought Hell was where I would end up. Until that day I suddenly felt like attending this youth service and then I met Jesus...and that date was July 9.
I remember that day when I repented all this. I cried like I never cried in my life (even while typing this). And when I went through my baptism it's as if everything has been washed away.
And now, I am not ashamed to say any of this, nor am I condemned with that dirty past. In fact I remember a little. For God has given me a new life. And I often cry when I think of the lost youth in where I live. If only they could know Jesus, and how much He can make them all complete. That is why I dedicate my Saturdays and Sundays at Church, so I can help reach out to the lost young people and tell them that it is through Christ that whatever burden they carry or condemnation they suffer will all be taken away.
Anyone who knew me before would probably not say anything or would condemn me or call me fake, but God knows what is in my heart. And with this new life He gave me I could never care less what others say of me
