Since young, I was a depressed and timid guy. Coupled with my skin problem, I had extreme low self-esteem and always isolate myself to people. My parents loves me very much though and I had two wonderful sisters. However, something bad happened to my 2nd sister, when we were in primary school. She had leukemia and had to go to hospital frequently for chemotherapy. At that time, I did not understand why she had to go through the painful treatment and I cried when I saw her lying in hospital. Until we found a suitable bone marrow donor, she may not live long.
But thank God, my uncle, who is a Christian, prayed for her condition ceaselessly. He told us to believe in Jesus that He would do a miracle and heal my sister completely. So we prayed and asked Jesus to heal my sister. Our prayers were finally answered when we found a suitable donor and she went for the operation. There were no after effects after the operation and she can live a normal life like others. Praise the Lord!
Subsequently, we went to my uncle's church and began to know more about this wonderful God called Jesus. At first, I was still in doubt and could not believe that Jesus is God and He loves us so much. But I knew that He is the one who healed my sister and gave her a second chance to live again! Slowly, Jesus began to do a work in my life and I finally gave my life to Him when I was 14.
Until now, I am still grateful to my Lord Jesus Christ for healing my sister and giving her a second chance to live. Also, He has changed my life completely and gave me hope to live! Without Him, I would still be bounded by depression and low self-esteem. Right now, I feel more happy and confident in myself. I no longer need to live in my past hurts and disappointments, but can boldly declare in 2 Cor 5:17 - "Whoever is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away and all things have become new!"
