He radically changed her life

Lenka’s story

I became a believer when I was 18 and before that I lived an ordinary life. I went to school, I had a job, I went out with guys, partied etc. I commuted to school by train with one girl who always answered my question “How are you?” somehow like this: “God is awesome, I feel so good!” So I was like “ok, fine!” But I noticed she believed in God and I saw something different, something I had never seen before.

Then one day when I wasn’t feeling very well and the girl from the train invited me to a tea room. We were sitting and I was talking about all the things I was struggling with.

I told her I didn’t see any sense in life, I didn’t see any reason to study or to build relationships.

When we were leaving she handed me a colourful book. I asked her “What is it?” and she answered: “Its a New Testament, a part of the Bible, so you can read it.” I told her I didn’t want it, that I would not read it, but she replied “Ok, if you don’t want to read it, you don’t have to, just take it, put in into your bookshelf and do not care.”

So I did it just as she said. One day I was sitting on my bed and I was feeling bad and crying, so I started reading the Bible. There was a verse that spoke to me and it said: “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” So I said to myself “Wow, I would like to date a guy who would not look at any other girl.

And I would like to be like this as well!” This is because some of my relationships ended because of me, I cheated on these guys. I was thinking “This would be great to have it in my life!” and I figured it was an interesting book, I would read it.

A few pages further there was written: “For everyone who asks receives, the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” So I told myself “Alright, God, if you do exist now is the opportunity, please, let me know you.” In that moment I felt very clearly God was with me in the room. I knew he was here telling me he was sorry for all the things that were happening in my life, that these things weren’t what he had prepared for me but in all these things he was with me. 

I started to be interested in God, I started to meet people who had already know God for some time and God radically changed my life. He took away some of my addictions and fears and it’s awesome today. I don’t have to be addicted neither to guys nor smoking but I can be God addict and that’s the only and the best addiction in my life.
