Testimony
When I was a university student, I had a friend whom I loved dearly and visited constantly. I spoke to him unceasingly about Jesus, and he loved listening to me. He would remark that what I told him was like honey, but he would add that he was too young to give up the pleasures, desires, and passions of youth.
Between girls, nightclub parties, and alcohol, my young friend Franck had just left his family home to taste this new life that his parents had forbidden while he lived with them. I continued to speak to him about Jesus and my experience with the Lord, repeating to him that it is never too early to be with Him, and even less too late.
But one day, while we were in class, news reached us: our classmate Franck had been the victim of a serious traffic accident. I was terrified and, that day, I left my classes and went home to pray for him. While I was praying, the Lord showed me his life, revealing that he had compromised it by naively allowing himself to be led by elders into a pernicious sect where blood was the currency of exchange.
When I returned, an hour after my prayer, I shared this experience with one of my teachers regarding my classmate and what the Lord had revealed to me, asking him to join me in intercession.
The following afternoon, someone announced to us that he was gone: death had taken him. I burst into tears; I could no longer contain myself. A few days later, I shared this ordeal with my classmates, inviting them to receive Jesus. Some did, others did not.
Beyond everything, this experience reminded me that life is short and, as the Bible says: "No one knows the day or the hour." More than ever, I reaffirmed my deep desire to follow Jesus without ever looking back. Even today, as I write this testimony, I say to the Lord: "Father, grant me the grace to be a faithful servant and to fight the good fight to win the race."
Matthew 24:42-44
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. [...] So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."
Shalom
