I was born in the middle east from a muslim father and a Christian mother. I was rasied as a muslem,when I became 11 I realized that my friends are not interested in talking or even in playing with me and I found out later that the reason is that my mother is christian, this made me think a lot of thinking for an 11 years old. My father was really concern about my faith he did all what he can to make me be a muslem you can count from beating to insulting to even beaten my mother although that she has nothing to do with that at that time. This made me ask a lot of questions like why he is (my own father) doing this to me and to my mother? when I became a 10 years old I started to read the Bible with out telling any one, and I start asking my mother about christianity, and try to understand as much as I can from the Bible. one time I was playing with the radio stations and suddenly I heard the word "Jesus" this made me stop I was so happy to hear about Jesus and the stories from the Bible. It was such a joy I shared the good news with my mom she was scared a little becasue of my father but when she looked in my eyes she knew that I will try everything to know Jesus and every thing about Him. So she started talking to me about Jesus and reading to me from thee Bible, I wont forget those preciuos times when I used to sit next to my mother listning to her reading and explaining to me what she reads but evile wont let it go my father almost every night would come and start fighting with my mom beating her and kiking her out of thee house it was such a hard time on me and on my brother and sister. our lives kept going like that between crying and hoping to adore our God Jesus freely I always loved the story of MOses when he led his people out of egypt, and many times I thought our house in Egypt and my father is like pheror. When I became 19 when my father divorced my mohter, although it was obvious that they will never be able to continue their lives like this but still it was like a shock to me. My father didn't allow my mother to take us, so she had to leave us with my father, he was a very rich man but never tried to spend a penny on us because he knew that we were christians. This made me think twice about God why would he allow such a thing to happen in my life to my own mother and father!! so I locked my room on me fro almost 3 months talking to no body hearing my mother crying to the Lord for me. So I decided to put an end to my life three times I tried to put an end to my life but every time I go to do so I hear a voice sayin "you are mine". This make me feel so scared that I run and leave the room. One day my mother came to me and said go to the church I'm sure that the Lord has something for you there today. I went for my mother sake. When I enterd the church a woman attracted me her face was so peaceful, like an angel! she went on and she sat in her place I went after her and meant to sit behind her, I didn't really understand what was the preacher talking about, but I heard him saying this verse"come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" Matt. 11:28 After the church is finished I stayed wating for that lady wondering about her peace, she turned back to me and asked me are you a beliver? I said: no!! She saud do you want to be in peace I said yes she said then pray with me I prayed a very simple prayer I said Lord fill me with your peace and forgive me sins against you in your name I pray Amen. since that day Dec.10/1990 till now I didn't see the Lord foresaking me or leaving me He is always there for me.
