Wife's testimony
I thought she was the problem
I grew up as a rebellious teen, to the point of hitting my own mother. My mother and I never got along; I had so much hatred against her that I used to beg my father to divorce her so she will not live with us.
I left home at a young age to live with my aunt as the constant fights between my mum and I was like hell.
I then started University and got an excellent job. I had everything I wanted.
Strangely enough, I was still unhappy and my love life was a mess. I found myself jumping from one relationship to another. I abandoned my studies and started seeking fulfilment in going out with my friends and having many boyfriends, but all this did not work. I still felt so empty, depressed and alone.
I was terrified of my future. The bad relationship between my parents made me never want to get married, but at the same time I did not want to be alone!
I was invited to the UCKG and decided to take part in the meetings and follow the practical advice I heard and that's when I started seeing changes in my life. I recognised that my unhappiness was not because of my mother or my broken relationships, it was an emptiness that only God could fill. From that moment I decided that I wanted Him above everything else.
Today, my relationship with my mother is completely restored. I have fully understood the meaning of the word “Seek first the Kingdom of God and all the other things shall be added unto you”
All the sadness and depression are gone! I have been happily married for nine years, where each year is better than the previous.
Both my husband and I decided to give our lives completely to God and do His work wherever He sends us.
You too can be happy - just do as I did!
