GOD WAS THERE

by Chamaiporn Kongmeekwamdee, Member of Little Candles Methodist Church, Thailand.

Hello, brothers and sisters in Christ. I would like to share my testimony about how I came to know God and what God has done in my life. I was born into a Christian family. My father and mother instilled in me the idea of going to worship and studying the Bible every Sunday. Therefore, my life was always spent in worshipping God and being with Christians and family of believers. There were other Christians living in my whole village as well.

However, at one point in my life, when I was in the 6th grade and it was the exam period, our family encountered problems. First, my younger brother had an accident; a tree branch hit his eye. Later, it became inflamed, and he had to go to a hospital in the city. The expenses were quite high. So, my father had to borrow money from the bank to treat my younger brother's eye. While my younger brother was in the hospital, my father had unusual symptoms, which were probably caused by various stresses. This made my father sick, and my family took him to be treated at the Neurological Hospital in Suan Prung, Chiang Mai.

At that time, I felt being alone. My mother had to take care of my younger brother in the hospital. My father was sick and had to be treated at another hospital. This made me feel lonely, doubtful, and discouraged. Because of my personality, I like to stay in my room, think too much, and don't like to talk about my problems to anyone. So I started to stay in my room and read the Bible, pray to God for strength, and tell God directly to help us get through the problems that my family was facing. After spending time with God every day, I felt stronger. I felt that talking with God about my problems made me feel better in a way that I couldn't describe, even though the problems I was facing were still there.

There was a youth camp during my school break. I decided to accept Jesus Christ into my life on the last night of the camp. From then on, I realised that whenever we face any problem, God was there to help us, give us strength, and give us wisdom to solve them. Even though there were many obstacles and problems in life, we still have peace. I really like Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

Finally, I would like to encourage all my fellow believers. It is not just believing in God that He will make our lives smooth and be without problems. God allows problems to enter our lives so that we can see the greatness of God. Problems in our lives will help us see how much we need Him.

Thank God for the opportunity to share my life with everyone. May God bless you all.
