Jennifer Bae Got Baptized!!!

Jennifer Bae’s Testimony

I was born into a Christian family that avidly went to church every Sunday. In my childhood years I was introduced to Jesus and learned about how He died on the cross for my sins. During my childhood I accepted the Lord as my savior and father with only basic knowledge of who He was, but regardless of that I really did love God as a little child. As I grew older and continued to go to church I felt different from everyone else, I wanted to talk about God and how great he was, but no one else did. I began to see hypocrisy within the church and I became scared to speak of God, even in church, because I was afraid of what people would say about me. By sixth grade I had discarded my relationship with God so that I would fit in with everyone else at church. It became a Sunday routine; praise became just a tune and service became a class like school. I knew my relationship with God wasn’t growing any deeper but I feared because of my own insecurities.

In 2006 my seventh grade year I went to my first retreat.  It was there that God really touched my heart and for the first time I felt the deep love that God had for me and for the first time I wept for the love of God. It was then I realized that Christianity wasn’t just a religion, but a relationship with God. It was then that my relationship with God went deeper than ground level.

Today I can say with all my heart that I am not ashamed of my relationship with God and that I love God and everything He has done and will do for me. My relationship with him has become one of my most cherished possessions and it continues to grow deeper and deeper. i had gone through years feeling purposeless but by the grace of God, He has shown me and told me that he knows the plans that he has for me. There is nothing in this world that can separate God’s love from me, neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present of the future, nor any powers.
