It's a wonderful day today in Cape Town and I'm thankful for that. Many of us are celebrating Easter tomorrow. It's the day when Jesus have risen from the dead. Do you believe in Jesus? I do, but my journey with Jesus have only really started about 10 years ago.
Yes, 10 years ago I was still in Varsity and I was diagnosed with Depression that year. I just couldn't cope anymore and i didn't care about anything really, but one day I just thought that I must log into my PC and check my e-mails and update my Anti-Virus programme.
Sounds a bit strange, because when you are in that place of couldn't care a thing I cared about my PC!? Anyway, I read my e-mail and a friend have send me a link to a web-page. I have check it out and I thought doesn't look to bad. So I have decided to sign up and create a profile for me.
Little did I know at that time that it was a Dating site 🙈 if I had know from the start I would have signed up. I'm not a person that would actually create profiles on those kinds of web-pages.
I remember so well one day that I have received a message from someone and it ask me weather I'm a Christian? That message have shaken me to the core. Never in my entire life have someone ask me a question like it EVER!
I was bought up in a Christian home and went to Church, Sunday-school and was also part of the school Christian Union. But I do remember one time with a Youth event at some stage at Church we had visiting youth from another Church and one boy have spoken about his relationship with Jesus. At that time I was drawn to it and wanted to know more, but was afraid to ask any questions!
From that I day my love for reading have really taken off. I have started to read more faith based novels. Also wanted to know what must I do to have that loving relationship with God.
So to answer that question regarding if I'm a Christian I have just had that feeling to be honest with him. At that stage I was so confused with everything that was going on with my life. So I have replied back and answer the question as truthful at that moment.
Not long after that I have received a reply and he have written back and said. "Jesus loves you." I didn't replied back to that message. I just remember that it meant a lot to me at that time, so much so that I could not sleep that night. Those words have kept me awake!
Later that night or should I rather say in the early hours of the morning I couldn't handled it any longer so I have decided just to get out of my bed and kneel in-front of my bed and prayed.
I have given my life over to Jesus in December 2007. It was the best decision that I have made in my entire life!! I have never felt so free and alive like then. From that time I know He was real. I felt Him in my Heart.
My feeling of Depression that I had was completely gone. You could say that I was on a Jesus High. That's a really good kind of high to be at! 😇
Feel free to read this poem that I have written shortly after I have gave my Heart to Him.
I know that Jesus have died on the Cross for my sin's. That's how much He loves me and you! He gave His life so that we can be saved. During this time of the year we celebrate what He have done for us.
Be blessed,
