"I was insecure, very shy, and unable to express myself."

Before I went to the Simbahang Universal, my life was chaotic and miserable, especially at home. I was insecure, very shy, and unable to express myself. I first attended the Simbahang Universal when I was eight years old after my mother was invited. For many years, I attended the services regularly until I became religious, I only listened to the messages without applying them to my life.

As time passed, I believed that simply attending the church would make me happy, yet I still felt an emptiness inside me. I tried to fill that void by joining different groups of friends at school and doing what they did just to belong, but nothing worked. I reached a point where I cried every night without knowing why.

Although my family was complete, my parents were always fighting, which pushed me to spend more time outside with friends. I became exhausted, and that was my turning point—I truly wanted to understand what was missing in my life.

When I began to practice the Word of God and had a personal experience with Him, I started to see changes within myself. The sadness disappeared, and later I also saw changes in my mother and in her relationship with my father.

After that, I had a strong desire to receive the greatest blessing—the Holy Spirit. I gave my whole life to God, and when I received the Holy Spirit, He filled the emptiness inside me.

Today, even when I am alone, I am complete and truly happy. I experienced a total transformation—everything changed, including my family. When problems arise, I no longer break down as I did before. I now have the strength to face and overcome every situation.

Today, I am ready to help others, especially the youth who are experiencing what I once went through. My life is complete now, and I would never exchange what I have for anything in this world.
