A Testimony Still Being Written
I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour in 2002. But over time, I have come to understand something more accurate — it was not I who accepted Him. It was He who accepted me.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” — Ephesians 2:8–9 (KJV)
If I were to recount every answered prayer, every miracle, every healing, every tender mercy across these years, I would never reach the end of the list. The psalmist said it better than I ever could:
“O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.” — Psalm 40:5 (NLT)
What I know with certainty is this: He is still working on me.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” — Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
The key word is walk. Not merely know. Not merely believe in theory. Walk — daily, obediently, intimately — with the Lord Jesus Christ, led by the Holy Spirit who guides us into all truth.
Each day, I make a choice to deny myself, take up the cross, and follow Him. I ask Him to examine my heart, to reveal the true condition of my thoughts, and to lead me to genuine repentance where it is needed. And He is faithful — not to condemn, but to cleanse.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” — 1 John 1:9 (KJV)
He knows it all — every deed, every thought, every hidden place in me. And still, He is gracious. Still, He is faithful. Still, He is working on me, inside out and outside in.
This is not a testimony of arrival. It is a testimony of a life still being shaped by a God who has never once let go.
