Jordan's testimony

Wednesday June 22, 2022

I cry out to the Most High God, to the God who brings everything to a good end for me. He will send me his salvation from heaven... God will send his benevolence and his truth. Psalm 57. 3, 4

In my distress I called on the Lord, and he answered me. Jonah 2.3

Jordan's testimony

"It was inconceivable to me that anyone could wish me well. After seven years of detention, where the incessant waves of despair and death overwhelmed me, the Word manifested itself. One evening, in my cell, at the when I was determined to end this life of suffering, I began to write a letter in which I confided all that was in my heart. Then, I deposited the envelope between the pages of a book : the Bible. Instinctively I went towards it. I immersed myself in these Scriptures not really understanding what I was reading, but at each page, at each word, a pleasant feeling came over me. For the first time in my life and while I was in the midst of the chaos, I experienced an unknown serenity, disconcerting, but extraordinarily beneficial.I heard the call of Jesus.

In the following weeks, great changes began in my life. Little by little, disorder gave way to order, and darkness to light. I finally found stability. However, even if I continued to read the Bible daily, doubts settled in me, because I did not understand why Jesus did not appear to me. One evening, I began to pray. I asked God to guide me and help me find meaning and direction to follow. His response was surprising and quick. I understood that he reveals himself and casts a unique gaze on each of us, imbued with a love that goes beyond the limits of human understanding. A love full of life and eternal."
