Resham’s Story

I was born into a Sikh family and grew up as a Sikh. I got married and had children. When I was expecting my last child, I was ill in hospital. As a Sikh, I believed that by doing good, I could earn God’s love and go to heaven. Though I had heard about Jesus before, it was not until I was in hospital that I thought about what would happen if I died. Where would I go?

I remembered that I had been told about God’s love through Jesus. I knew in myself that I was not good enough to go to heaven. Then I cried out to God to forgive me for the wrong things I had done and to come into my life. From that day I knew peace with God and joy. Up until then I had grief because I worried about what would happen to my daughters if I died. I knew then that I had a relationship with God which I did not have before. God also gave me the desire of my heart to have a family with both male and female children. Our last child was a son.

After I gave my life to God, I started to read the Bible and to pray and then started to go to a church near my home. That was thirty one years ago and I have not looked back since then. Now I have hope. I know I am going to heaven because I have put my trust in Jesus who died for me.
