๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐!
Ang buhay ko ay umiikot sa kasiyahan ng mundo. Bars were my second home. Umiinom, naninigarilyo, hindi uuwi hanggaโt di nalalasing. On top of that, I was addicted to gambling. Palagi pa akong nagsusuot ng mga revealing na damit, walang pakialam sa tingin ng iba. I chased temporary happiness, thinking freedom meant doing whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted.
I was restless and never satisfied. No matter how much I drank, gambled, how many people surrounded me, or how many relationships I entered, I always wanted more and yet nothing was ever enough. I jumped from relationship to relationship, umaasang may taong pupuno sa kakulangan ko but each one left me more broken and more unhappy. Wala akong malinaw na pangarap, walang direksyon, walang kalayaan. Malaya sa tingin ng mundo, pero alipin sa kasalanan.
And thatโs when I realized, I WAS LOST.
Ngunit ang Panginoon, hindi Niya ako iniwan.
In His mercy, the Lord met me right where I was. Filthy, tired, empty, and far from Him. Hindi Niya ako hinintay na maging maayos bago Niya ako tanggapin. I came broken. I came desperate. And He didnโt reject me. He rescued me.
Little by little, He began to change my heart. The things I once craved started to lose their hold on me. Hindi na ako hinahatak ng bar. Smoking and drinking no longer brought comfort. Gambling no longer ruled my thoughts and decisions. Hindi na ako naghahanap ng attention para maramdaman ang halaga ko. God showed me that my worth was never found in how I looked, who desired me, or how wild my life appeared but in who I belong to.
The Lord replaced my emptiness with peace.
He replaced my confusion with purpose.
He replaced my constant craving for more with contentment.
PINAGRESIGN AKO NI LORD sa dating maduming ako.
Where I once dressed to be seen, I now dress with dignity. Where I once sought validation from people, I now seek approval from God. Where I once lived for myself, I now live for Christ.
Hindi na ako ang babaeng dati kong pagkatao, hindi dahil naging mabuti ako, kundi dahil mabuti ang Diyos. I am a work in progress, but I am free. Free from addictions. Free from the need to be wanted. Free from the lie that I needed the world to feel alive.
Today, I am a woman of God. Not perfect but forgiven. Not finished but transformed. My life is a testimony that no one is too far gone, no heart too hardened, and no past too messy for the Lord to redeem.
Kung binago Niya ako, kaya Niyang baguhin ang kahit sino.
All glory belongs to God. ๐โจ
