I Felt Weak, Hopeless, and Doomed to a Life of Misery

22 January 2009 3 Comments

I would like to give a testimony of someone who greatly changed my life. That person’s name is Joshua Jung. About 5 years ago, I came to a point in my life where I realized that there had to be more than the meaningless life I was living. I realized that only God can solve my life’s problems so I began to look for Him. This proved to be more difficult than I thought because God is spirit and I was so physical minded. I tried to change the person I was but failed miserably. Overcoming temptations and following my conscience was difficult because of the life I had grown accustomed to. I felt weak, hopeless, and doomed to a life of misery. I began to think….. “Who can possibly help me? Who can give me strength because I am so weak?” I began praying to God and asking for help but I didn’t know God. Who was God? What was He like, and why would he want to help me after I ignored Him for so long. I was introduced to a Bible study called the 30 principles. The first lesson taught me not only about God but about myself. I learned that I was focused on the physical life and neglecting the spiritual. My spirit was starving and that is why I was so miserable. Only through feeding my spirit would I find true satisfaction in life. The 30 principles Bible study was so great that I had to ask who the author was. Who was this man who can change lives with the words he spoke? A man named Joshua Jung dedicated his entire life to becoming close to God and learning God’s deep truth. Joshua Jung worked hard for many years to uncover the word of truth and love. Joshua Jung read the Bible many times and dedicated his life to knowing God and bringing others to the knowledge of God. After finishing the 30 principles Bible study, questions about the Bible and God were answered. My eyes were opened to the meaning of life. God wants a relationship with each one of us and He is with us everyday. God is the help we are looking for but we must open our eyes and ears to experience Him. Teacher Joshua Jung has been the key to open this in my life.
