Brother Jorge

I used to think of myself as a person who knew who God was, I was brought up in a traditional Catholic home, in a way that I always felt connected with God but I never knew him personally, I thought He was up in heaven so far away but always looking over me. When my family and I came to London, I became rebellious towards my parents and I even turned my back on God I thought that as long as I don’t harm anyone and if I went to church from time to time to confess I’ll be fine.
Little did I know that when I became a father and tried to introduce God to my kids the Lord spoke to me saying “HOW CAN YOU INTRODUCE ME TO YOUR KIDS WHEN YOU YOURSELF DO NOT KNOW ME?”

One night, while praying with my wife, holding hands and head to head, I felt His presence coming inside of me like a cold and refreshing water, I wanted to lift my head and have a look to see what it was that I was that I was feeling, but I could not do it. On that same night the Lord Jesus showed me what He did for ME on that cross, I felt so unworthy yet I was still so sceptical, in my head I said “If this is You Lord make me get up from bed”, before I even finished thinking this, my youngest son fell from his bed (Coincidence?) after I put him back and returned to bed, I started praying, I heard Him say “you need to confess to your wife”, again I thought to myself “If this is really You, wake up my wife” again before I even finished my thought my wife turned around and asked me “Are you ok?” (Coincidence again?) I don’t think so…

Since then I can see how the Lord has worked throughout my life, from child to this day, all things leading me to Him, that is why I decided to follow Him and even though I am not perfect, in Him I will be. I praise His holy name till He comes back or takes me home.
