✨ Excerpt from One Life: The Narrow Path
I was working in a café where many people involved in witchcraft spent their time. A woman walked in, ordered a cappuccino, and something about her spirit drew me in. She spoke about being “born again” and having a personal relationship with God. I didn’t understand it at the time — like Nicodemus in John 3, I wasn’t yet spiritually awakened — but her boldness stuck with me.
She invited me to a church, and I went. The people raised their hands, worshipped freely, and sang in a language I didn’t understand. I left thinking they were crazy… yet something inside me had shifted.
Weeks later, I wandered into a “cry room” at a local church hall, where I stumbled on a Bible study. That led me to meet a woman named Alison, who listened to my story and said gently, “Just give your life to Jesus.”
I replied, “It can’t be that easy.” But it was.
That day, I surrendered to Christ — and the transformation began. As 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us:
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
📘 One Life is a testimony of surrender, faith, and the narrow path that leads to freedom.
Let it inspire you to trust God with your own journey — because He can transform your life, too.
