Everyone has their own story but I hope mine will be encouraging. We have all heard it said that our God saves. I completely agree. Actually I know exactly what that means better than most. For me God literally saved me from certain death. I will try to keep it short though. A simple testimony from a heart that has fallen for an amazing God. It all started when I was three. My grandfather started sexually abusing me. Then he started selling me to his friends so they could do the same. It continued until I was 11. After that it was foster care. Group homes, foster parents,one place after another never knowing where how was or what it meant. I got really depressed and was struggling with a lot. Anxiety, eating disorders, self injury and addiction just to cope. I was on deaths door when God found me my senior year of highschool. This is a poem I wrote about that day.

Knight in Shining Armor
He caught my attention
With sweet, sweet promises
Promises of unconditional love
Endless joy
Peace in all I do
He held my gaze
And I watched patiently
As he went to work
Healing a broken body
Mending a shattered heart
Keeping ever promise and more
Before I knew what was happening
He had turned my world upside down
I had fallen for him
And he had fallen for me
He is faithful
He is good
He is all I had imagined hed be and more
My knight in shining armor
My God.

After that God started healing and turning that hurt into anger and that anger into passion. Now I am free of all addictions. I am a worship leader, and I am working my way into missions and childrens ministry. Two years ago if I had continues on the path I was on I would have died. My God rescued me just as I was hitting rock bottom. From the bottom to the top my God saves and restores. Please be encourages. You are never beyond reach and God will save you!

Thank God that he can reach down to us....and heal our hurts and pick us up..and help us to see and know that he loves us..no matter what. The evil on this earth shall not prevail over Jesus. He said so.
