I was saved at the age of ten. I tried my best to be good, to study the Word, to be more involved in ministry, and to live up to the church’s demands of following Christ.

Somewhere in my late thirties, I gave up because my marriage fell apart and I turned to meaningless relationships to distract and anaesthetize my emotional pain. I cried out to the Lord to help me although I had little hope that I would ever be truly whole or happy.

It wasn’t until 2010 that I stumbled upon Pastor Joseph Prince’s broadcast. I was drawn by the Holy Spirit to what He was saying through Pastor Prince. From then on, I simply couldn’t stop watching his program. I even made watching his program part of my daily routine. Before long, I was ordering his CDs and DVDs because thirty minutes a day on television just wasn’t enough.

Finding Pastor Prince was my heavenly Father’s precious gift to me. In 2011, my twenty-eight-year-old daughter died after being involved in a car accident. Through Pastor Prince’s sermons, the Lord has revealed His gentle comfort and great love to turn my grief into inexpressible joy.

Thank you, Pastor Prince, for your faithfulness to speak the true grace of God in Jesus Christ! Even though I have been a Christian for many years, I had no understanding of the differences between the old and the new covenants, or all that Jesus had done for me on the cross. The Holy Spirit has given me more understanding of God’s mercy, love, and grace through you than all the sermons, Bible studies, and resources I’ve heard or read in my entire life.

I knew I had been saved by grace but I had been taught that I still had to obey His commandments to be seen as righteous in God’s eyes. I now know that I have been given the gift of righteousness through faith and it will never be taken away because it is dependent on Jesus’ obedience. All praise and glory to the Lord!

Today I am a writer and Bible teacher who shares with anyone who will read or listen to the message of freedom we have through the finished work of Christ. I am completely in love with Jesus, my bridegroom. He has brought me to a blessed place described in Isaiah 61:3—He has given me a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
