I was married for ten years. The last
three years of my marriage were very unstable. I would find myself
sleeping on the couch at times and telling myself that I didn’t need
this ,who am I kidding I can find someone better than you.
So, I left my wife and two children. I
moved to San Antonio, TX and stayed with some friends named Antonio and
Alex. We partied everyday. I started to find myself giving my heart to
so many wicked things. I began to miss my family, so I told my friends I
was going to go back and fix my marriage. My friends thought I was crazy
to give up the party life. I told them that they were crazy and I got
into a fight with them and never went back.
I came back to Corpus Christi and tried
to fix my marriage, but the damage from my sinful lifestyle had broken
the trust and my words didn’t mean anything. My wife wouldn’t forgive me
for my selfish and immature acts. She just wanted to move on with her
life without me. I tried to change to show her that I wanted them back.
It was too late; all those years of irresponsibility had caught up to
me. In trying to forget the pain of rejection, I went back to the old
stinky party life. I couldn’t change! Then I started to have a lot of
anger and bitterness build up inside me. I hated my wife and her new
boyfriend, my old friend. I one night I found myself outside of her
apartment and ready to hurt her and her boyfriend! At the time my kids
were outside playing on a waterslide, so I figured that would be my
chance at revenge! As I was watching over them in front of the apartment
I became enraged and just couldn’t wait for the opportunity to pounce on
him and beat him down to the ground! I had my mind made up! I didn’t not
care about the consequences I just wanted of be vindicated. This man
then approached me and asked me a question. I just told him hurry up and
tell me what he wanted. He asked me if I’ve ever had accepted Jesus in
my heart. He began to tell me that Jesus Christ loves me and took the
nails in his hands and feet and died for me. Inside my own heart and
mind I did not want to hear this now. I told him I am waiting for this
guy to come outside so I could beat him. Then as this stranger spoke
about Jesus and what he had done in his own personal life I began to see
that there was something very different about him, something very real
and sincere. He explained to me that there is hope for me and Jesus
could change me. I realized this is what I have been looking for all
along! So I bowed my knee and said a sinner’s prayer and began going to
The Door CFC. The rest is history Sept. 25 1999 I became born again and
was baptized Oct. 30 2000.
You see my friend the bible tells us in
John 3:19-21 "That this is the judgment that the light has come into the
world. But, men love darkness rather than light because their deeds were
evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to
the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth
comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have
been done in God."
To who ever reads this testimony step
out of the dark loneliness of sin and come the one who loved you so much
that he died as a sacrifice for you his name is Jesus.
