I Traded My Everything for JESUS.........

One week back I did something that I never do before in my whole entire life, I told my parents that I am goin to church. I am just sick and tired of sneaking to church and hiding from my parents. My dad told me that once I leave this house and go to church, my school, my laptop, allowance, my handphone will all be stopped and confiscated. At that moment, I got to choose between my future or God. It is a very hard decision, if i choose God, all my plans and my future will be gone. If i choose my future, I will never be able to worship God and honor God. At last I chose God, i ran out of my house and that brought great misery to my mum but great anger to my dad. It hurts me alot to see my mum cry, as if she has just lost a son and the havoc I had brought to my family. But I wish to tell them, Jesus is so real and true in my life that I cant forsake Him, He is my all in all, my life. I love my family but I love Jesus too, and if there is another chance I wish I could contribute alot more to my family.
I traded my everything for Jesus, who love me and came and die for me. Is HE who taught me how to be strong, is HE who is with me in my darkest days, is He who protected and built me up this few years. Thats why i am willing to give up my everything for HIM.
That day was the day where for the first time I tasted freedom like never before, and joy beyond any description. For the first time I went to church and not to be burdened by anything. And yes, without fail I will go and worship God on sat.
That sat after church activities I was allowed to go home, and ya MY THINGS ARE STILL IN ONE PIECE. My parents allowed me to use laptop and gave me alloance for another two weeks. It is really a miracle that they gave me two more weeks, given my parent's character, they will just destroy my everything. But I believe in God, though emtpy handed but alive in His hands. God will surely make a way, I trust Him from the day I said the sinner's prayer till now.
[Phillipians3:7-8] - However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.Now I can freely and truly say " God I am wiling to surrender all to you". If God brings you to it, HE will bring you through it. More amazingly, my parents din't say a thing about i goin to church, and my dad even talked to me!!!
Thinking about the journey i embark with Christ five yrs back, it is already a miracle that i made it through. It is not easy, but can be done together with the all mighty God.
