李燁武 (Danzel)
In my childhood, I used to be brought to church by my grandma and to be honest, I was not willing to go because I did not understand who God was and why we had to worship him. In that time I thought God was like gods who I watched in Chinese traditional fairy tales. They were artificial and virtual. Furthermore, I grew up in a communist country which has no belief and I was implanted a theory that there was no God in the world. People believed that they could get anything on their own. In addition, textbooks taught me that Darwin’s Evolutionism was the perfect method to explain the derivation of human. From upon facts, I doubted whether the Lord really existed. And perhaps the holy bible was a collection of foreigner fairy tales. I was in dilemma in this case because I must face the impact from church and school, which made me confused and embarrassed. I couldn’t really make a decision to rely on God.
Thank God that He is always with me and bless me all the time. Actually God has already sown his seed in my heart when I fist time went to church with my grandma. Thank God that He brought me to Canada. Otherwise I would not believe in God and be baptized. When I was in China, I never felt the peace and love from people (Except family), because they were selfish that they never thought about others and just satisfied their own greedy desires. Hence I didn’t earnestly consider my problems and relationship with God because I just looked like people who run their own business, pursue wealth and reputation. Thank God that He brought me here and helped me to calm down to seek Him. I want to reconcile myself with God through Jesus and have a closer relationship with God. Lord, I thank you for loving me so much that you gave me your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to take my sins away. From now on, I am going to take up my cross and follow you.
