My Story: The Story of God’s Grace

 

One question that has always kept me going is this: “What do I have that God would call me to be His servant?” And the answer has always been the same: “You have nothing, but My grace is sufficient.”

 

Born with cerebral palsy, I grew up hearing stories of people whispering, “Will this child survive? And if he does, will he ever become a man?”

Struggling with handwriting and speech, I became an easy target for bullying by peers and sometimes even by teachers. Mockery of my speech impediments and physical differences became familiar, and though I often reported these hurts to my brothers and parents, there was little they could do.

 

In high school, the challenges only deepened. One day, while I was rewriting my notes because of my poor handwriting, a teacher called me in front of my classmates and called what I was doing “stupid.” Teachers, people I looked up to, labelled me “stupid” simply because of my handwriting. Another teacher once glanced at my notebook and confidently declared, “You cannot pass the exam.” It was the first time I heard a teacher tell a student he would fail in life over something as simple as handwriting.

 

It was during these confusing and painful moments that I first sensed God calling me into ministry. I didn’t know what that meant or where I was supposed to serve. I only knew my limitations.
“Lord, me? Are You sure? We both know I can’t,” I said.
His answer came softly: “You can’t, but I can. I used Moses when he was struggling.”

 

When I joined college, a teacher asked me about my aim in life. I said, “To serve God.”
“But where? How?” she asked.
“I don’t know.”
“Can you sing?”
“No,” I replied.
She told me that a servant of God must be able to do many things. I stayed silent, hoping she was wrong, but God had a different plan.

 

In college, I also met teachers who saw beyond my weaknesses.
“I know you can do something,” one said.
“I am proud to be your teacher,” said another.
And still another told me, “Thank God for your life.”
I knew I had nothing to boast of. But God’s grace was sufficient.

 

Just when I thought life was settling, I came to a crossroads. I was told that the world is competitive—that it belongs to the rich, the well-connected, the secure. They weren’t wrong.  Yet, amid this noise, a gentle voice kept ringing: “Do you not remember that I called you?” That voice was costly, serious, and demanding. But how could I ignore the One who lifted me out of the “stupid,” “failure,” “not-good-enough” labels spoken over me?

 

God is still shaping His servant.
I still need grace every single day.
I still struggle.
And I still lack everything—except His grace.

But the Voice still rings: “If I used Moses, I can use you. Just be obedient and faithful to Me, for I am faithful.”

 

My writing journey began in 2017 when I was in college. My first published article was “Be Yourself” (available on this site). Later, I wrote for local newspapers on issues related to government, politics, and democracy. Over time, my focus shifted to biblical truths—to encourage those who need hope, assurance, and a reminder that even in a broken world, God still cares for each of us.

 

What began as a simple blog in 2019 has grown into a place where stories, truth, and hope can reach those who need it. I never planned for it to become what it is today, but God knew. He carried me through challenges and opened doors I never expected. This blog exists because of His grace, and it continues only because He sustains it.

 

I am also deeply grateful for every reader who has walked this journey with me - your prayers, encouragement, and quiet support have kept this work going. My prayer is that God will continue to use this space to shine His light into the world.

 

Take a moment to pray for yourself and for those who need hope today.

If this story blesses you, I invite you to continue this journey with me, to be a light in a dark world and a source of hope in a broken society.

 

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden… let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14–16)
