  1. Read more ⬇️ After years of living in pride, thinking I was the author of my own success, I became my own god. I used people, hurt the ones closest to me, and pushed away anyone who tried to correct me. I only prayed when I wanted something—treating God like a vending machine. Resentment and unforgiveness filled my heart like cancer, making me cold, heartless, unreachable—even to God. Despite outward success, I was spiritually bankrupt. Then 2022 hit and I lost everything: my business failed, 150K+ in debt, unemployed, alone, homeless, and emotionally numb. That was my breaking point. I finally went back home… and back to church. That’s when the weight of everything hit me like a train. I fell on my face, begging God for mercy. I recommitted my life to Jesus, but the journey was painful. I faced the consequences of my actions, asked for forgiveness from those I hurt—some forgave me, some didn’t. I prayed, went to therapy, worked through trauma, and asked God not to numb the pain so I’d never forget. Fast forward to 2025—To God be the glory. He broke me down and rebuilt me. He restored everything I lost in ways I couldn’t imagine. He gave me a new heart, a new life, and a new beginning. He met me in my mess when I deserved rejection and loved me anyway. All Glory, Honour & Praise to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The old is gone. The new has come. And this is just the beginning. 🙌🏽 #Testimony #Grace #GodRestores #JesusSaves #FromBrokenToRestored #tgbtg #christianposts
