Luke 15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents."

1. HE CALLED ME SON
Hi I’m EJ Brosas, 18 years old. I’ve been serving
the Lord for two years now and I want to share
my story. I wasn’t a believer before and I admit
that I was a worldly person, alcohol and
cigarettes were the worldly things that I can
mention.
I love my family but I didn’t feel any love from them
and I always had thoughts in my mind that no one
really loved me. I was always by myself even though
I needed someone to lean on with my problems in
school or in my life. There was no one, not even
friends.
No one knew how hard my situation was. Even the thought of getting an award for any
activity in school there would be no one to support me. Seeing your other classmates
having a parents supporting them made me feel jealous and made me think “how does
it feel to have a parents caring for you?” I never experienced it.
I always wanted to experience having a parent who is always there for me during my
failures and my happiness. Because of my longing for my parents’ affection and love I
didn’t know where to go. I was lost and I had no one to count on, not even my relatives.
“I almost took my life”
I became paranoid and depressed up to the point that I almost took my life. I was even
banging my head on the wall. I destroyed all the things around me and decided to cut
my wrist as a way out of my insanity. It was the only way I could see at that time. There
was a lot of blood, but good thing that I managed to survive and I was just crying the
whole time. I decided to throw away the knife that was in my hand.
At that point, I didn’t knew that there was a God and I’ve never even thought to turn to
Him with the things that happened to me, only to blame my parents.
“My child, I love you”
Then one day, someone invited me to a church and everything was new to me.
Especially the people who were so nice to me and I was wondering “why are they so

2. happy and why are they crying too?”. That very moment was the time that I learned
about the Lord. He was telling me that time “My child, just cry it out, let it out!”. I was
crying so much, letting everything out until I felt His presence. “My child, I love you”.
Those were the words that keeps repeating in my mind.
I thought to myself that FINALLY someone called me SON! It was joy that I felt from the
feeling of being called son. I came to realization that it was God who is my real parent is
and the answer to everything. He was the one who healed the wounds and the missing
piece that completed me and changed my life.
I’ve seen the importance of the cross on Calvary that freed me. He gave His life for me
and I am no longer forsaken or broken, because of the mercy and His grace. I was
captivated by His love that continuously is changing me. God is teaching me in terms of
praying and going to church enlightens me about the importance of my life.
“my relationship to my family is in
the process of restoration”
I believe that because of the Lord, my relationship to my family is in the process of
restoration. God made me understand about the things that happened to me, that it had
a purpose especially regarding about my parents.
I’m continuously praying for them because I believe on the power of prayer. The day will
come when they will feel the love of the Lord too. I thank the Lord for His love and I
promise to myself that I will forever serve Him until the day He comes.
To all of us, let’s continue to pray for our parents that
they will feel the love of the Lord in God’s time. Let us
all remember that God loves us and will never leave
us. God called us because we have a purpose and He
will never fail to meet it. Trust in Him and and let us
serve Him with all of our hearts. God bless!
