Editor's Note: The passage is the vision of a sister who used to be a prostitute. Now she has become a Christian and daughter of God. She is willing to spread the gospel of God even though she still cares about comments from other people. Her testimony and story are as follows:
Serve the church but fear marriage
In February 2013, we returned from Beijing. We began to serve in the church, and meet brothers and sisters. My life was full of joy and hope every day. Although there were still sorrows and obstacles, we felt happy since we believed in God.
Jesus said: There is suffering in the world, but I have overcome the secular world. So we enjoy the joy, peace, and freedom given by Jesus. We were no longer attracted to the secular world. God is the center of our lives and we can't live without him.
Yu and I were waiting to get married. However, I didn't want to get married to him afterward. At that time we didn't pay much attention to our relationship. I heard of Paul in the Bible, I wanted to follow his example and serve God for my whole life without getting married.
I began to fear marriage because Yu knew all my past. I was afraid that Yu accompanied me due to sympathy. He also found that my attitude was obscure and doubted if I loved him. However, God strengthened our relationship.
God saved his children
A 20-year-old girl in Haikou appeared in our life. I quarreled with Yu every day. He said that his love for me has been exhausted since I didn't treat him gently so many years.
I understood that I was to blame for the broken relationship. I didn't accompany him often. We didn't go shopping or see movies together like a normal couple. I was so selfish that I only cared about my own feelings.
I knew if I broke up with him, I would stay away from God and return to the evil world. I knelt down at night to ask God: What shall I do? How could I continue with him since he has betrayed me? I didn't want to leave God.
I remembered the words of the Bible: I shall make a spouse help the man who lives alone. " He betrayed me and I was so weak, how could I help him?" I asked God. " I am your power. You have to rely on me." This is the answer I got from God.
I prayed to God. If he let us become husband and wife, please change us and make the girl disappear. The next day we met a beggar and Yu gave the beggar money. The Holy Spirit reminded me of his efforts and love these years. He found that he was still in love with me. Then he turned down the 20-year-old girl.
We were surrounded by sweet love. All the sorrow and anxiety in our hearts were gone. God could understand our needs and ideas.
In June 2013, we went to Xiamen to register for marriage. We wanted to save money and hold the wedding in the church. We prayed for the wedding and asked God to prepare for us.
We get married with the glory of God
\In November 2013, we went to the church in Guilin where he studied the lessons of evangelism. He was inspired by the Holy Spirit and decided to be a missionary throughout his life.
I support his idea. I am willing to accompany him to preach the gospel anywhere. We would like to dedicate our life to God. We heard that the church would hold a collective wedding in December. We prayed and signed up for the wedding.
We were informed that there would be 10 couples at the wedding. At last we participated the wedding. We knelt down and prayed to God. We knew that the main character of this wedding was God. This wedding made God glorious.
We were able to get married because Jesus beat Satan. God has given us a lot of grace. Millions of people witnessed our wedding under the Century Bridge in Haikou. The president of Jiangsu Emma group Co., LTD gave us an electric car as a wedding gift.
Yu and I smiled at each other. We had discussed buying an electric car, but we had no money. God knew our needs. The make-up, wedding dresses, and photos were all free. The next day, the photos and information about our wedding were published in the headlines of our local newspaper.
We know that it is God's love that saved and changed us. We were separated so many times. However, we still got the blessings of God. Marriage itself is a miracle. God saved us and changed us from sinners to children of God. It is a larger miracle.
The son of God comes to seek and save sinners. I longed for love, God gave me infinite love; I used to lose myself, God guided me with infinite patience; I rebelled against God, but God turned my mind with infinite mercy.
If a man won the whole world at the cost of life, he just lost everything because we could only live once. Jesus gives us the path, truth, and life. No one can go to heaven without him. God sends his light to all the sinners in the world. His love, sacrifice, and resurrection bring us the hope of eternal life.
God makes us find the meaning of life. We no longer feel confused or empty after we believe in God. He gives us eternal life compared with our short life.
Now Yu is a preacher in the church. I often attend the activities of worshipping and praying to God. We really thank God for his grace. I wrote the testimony to tell the people how God rescued and changed me. I'm not ashamed of the contents of the testimony. I am grateful for God's salvation. May God has all the praise, authority, honor, and glory. He, Jesus, is the creator of the world!
