“My prime purpose of writing this letter is to really thank you but I hope that by the time you finish reading this letter, you will be thinking of me in terms of who I am and not who I was.When you started talking, I got probably the greatest shock of my life. It was as if you were holding up a mirror of truth which was reflecting the real state of my spirit and I was horrified by what I saw but I still maintained my seat. Your words hit home.
A month ago, I was probably the girl with the worst reputation in school. I delighted in rebelling. I did probably almost everything which was wrong according to the school rules: - I lied, stole, gossiped, cheated in exams, swore, boasted; just name it. I kept hordes of boyfriends but surprisingly, I never slept with any of them. But I never told my friends that I was a virgin because I was ashamed of my virginity so I lied to my friends that I had slept with many men. To add to that, I was a lesbian and all these was just for fun.
But on that fateful day, as you spoke, I realised that I was being used, I realised I had become what I despised most- a cheat. I had cheated on myself, my parents, and friends and as if that was not enough, I had stupidly tried to cheat on God. You can imagine how sinful I was. It was as if my eyes were widely forced open. There and then, I decided to make a complete U-turn and take a very different approach to life. The approach of truth. After doing this, I felt very relieved. Then I felt that I had to thank you and I did so but that wasn’t enough for me so I decided to write this letter to let you know the impact of your words and to thank you properly. I’m so glad you stepped in on Wednesday.
Our exams started today and for the very first time all through my secondary school years, I wrote an examination in full confidence without cheating.
I’ve also made up my mind to use my potentials to serve the living God. I have decided to be the best and I will do so with the help of the Almighty God. Thank you for everything.
You have the potentials, go on living them. I will continue to pray for you. May the Grace of God be with you. Amen”.One of the numerous letters from those who listen to the Holy Spirit speaking through Preacherman.……plus many more to be loaded in. Watch out!
