Where is your hope anchored?
Just like most people, I came into the world a sinner. But I could not express myself with speech. I knew that I could not earn my salvation because I was too full of condemnable wicked deeds. The Bible describes the sin nature as self-focused and prideful. I was naturally that. Before having Christ salvation was far from me. Dear mom, said that Jesus can save from God’s wrath because he died on the cross taking my punishment. Then I realized I needed deliverance. This happened when I was about fourteen and God started to work in me. When perfectly saving faith was granted to me. The change was significant. Before I had no hope. After amazingly embracing Christ, I had new life! Having the Holy Spirit, I wanted to live my life for God. God literally saved my life because before that I wanted to die! Autism took away so much but God restored beautiful changes making my disability an asset instead of a liability. Communication was limited so I had only prayer. Relationships were few but intimacy with Christ sustained me. Being silent helped me to hear God’s voice! My relationship with Jesus very much has grown over the years to today. He now has given me a way teaching me to communicate by tapping letters. God wants me to use my gift to preach of his love and salvation in Jesus.
I Corinthians 2:2-5 “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling. and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”
