A Farmer's Testimony

As a farmer's son, the only thing I ever wanted to do was farm. I left school at fifteen and worked for my father for two years, then went farmingelsewhere.At the age of 26, I went into partnership with my dad. My life from this point became fairly hard. After seven years of getting into increasing debt, then losing a child, a brother and my mother, ending my life was a close reality.

My dream of owning my own farm was fast disappearing. Finally, in desperation to save my farm and to give my family some sort of life, I headed to Australia for the big dollars... and to find some answers. From this point my life changed forever. Instead of the big money, I found myself working for a farmer and started attending church.

My battle with farming was nothing compared to what I was to face the next three years. I'll skip the three years and tell you of a change in my life that I still remember nine years on. I can never remember being so scared. I was at a point where I could not trust God and could not trust this world. Then I looked at the Bible, pondered on this world, and I realized for the first time that the Bible was not half-truth, it was the whole truth.

I wept, for the first time in my life. I wept for those I had never let go and I wept for Jesus. Scripture was alive. It was the truth and the truth has set me free.

I fell in love with Jesus and I fell in love with my wife (Christ's Love). I'm now under a blessing and not a curse. Jesus has been with me and my wife for nine glorious years. Granted, life with Christ isn't all roses, but nothing can compare to His presence in our hearts and the things we have witnessed.

The answer - simple really - stop running, turn around and agree with Christ. He died for you and for me, God Bless you.
