A TEST OF FAITH

Lately I experience a very exciting yet meaningful experience……my FAITH was tested.

I am not a religious person but I am one of those who go to church on Sunday , pray the rosary with my family, read bible often and attend prayer meetings when not busy…an ordinary christian, that's me.

 When I was young, I live with my aunt who wakes me up sometimes at dawn for rosary…at dawn first thing in the morning she reads the bible, the newspaper of the previous day and sometimes we watch movies….at dawn.

I won't forget the prayer meetings that I attended because of her. The prayer for novena and most especially the prayer for the souls.

 At an early age I started believing in God, though in summer I participated " Flores de Mayo" because almost all my classmates and friends were there and enjoy the part when we offer flowers to Mama Mary.

But as I grew up things are becoming complicated…that I asked God…Why are other children got normal families?

There I started my questions and slowly started to believe that God is unfair… at an early age I hate my mother, father, and almost all the people around me……silently.

I started to explore the world on my own….got lots of friends…friends who found the best in me, though I was not the best for them….friends who understands me and never asked anything…because I'm not capable of answering. They were just there …keeping me company….their presence was my fuel….I wore a camouflage…..a happy mask….to hide all that I felt.

It's hard to believe but all the hurts and the pains were installed in my heart.

Lately at 31, I never thought that I would pass an experience testing my faith in God… Though no matter how bad or silly I am I end up victorious with GOD!

 Faith is believing in GOD…though I don't see him but I can feel him.

In this point in my life I have proven that God loves me no matter how bad I was.

Things happen for the greater glory of GOD!

Amen.
