i've known about Jesus Christ since i was in primary school. my grandmother and aunt likes to pray the Rosary a lot. we have a Bible in the house. my mother always tells me to do the sign of the cross whenever we pass churches. these and everything else i've known about Him is because i had to say it in a prayer prayed over and over or forced unto us at school to later on be tested at quizzes. but i've never encountered Him as i now do until i joined Kuya Joel's caregroup under Hope Church.
you may ask, what's a caregroup? basically, it a smaller family of faith where you connect with other members spritiually and maybe even more. most of my caregroup's members have families, so our kids mingle with each other as we parents do as well. we encourage one another to be stronger in our faith and help out in areas we can in each other lives. we meet once a week to praise God, thank Him for His blessings and reflect on His words.
at first, i won't deny i was skeptical. i thought this was all gimmick or had strings attached. as i continuously interact with these people, attending Sunday service diligently, then i got it. it was all for the love of Jesus. these people are good because they've experienced God's goodness and it transformed them. my family and i are no strangers to problems and trials as i know my co-caregroupers are as well. but because they have a deeper relationship with Jesus, they continuously strive to be in His likeness.
and when i realized that i wanted Jesus to be in my heart and stay there forever to be my Savior, i knew i was born again.
