Dushy - My Story for His Glory

I was born and brought up in a Christian Family in Chennai, India. However God never made sense to me for a long time. It was during my second year in undergrad college that God touched me. We were a big group of about 20 friends who used to travel to college everyday by the train and it was a journey of about 45 min. During our journey, we always used to create a lot of noise by singing Indian film songs and tease other college girls along the way. No one would question us as we were a little intimidating with our group size.

One of my friends in the group was a drug addict and God miraculously saved him. This guy now started preaching about Christ to the whole group and in a public train he would be speaking the Gospel. Then he started singing Christian worship songs in the train and one by one, all my friends started getting saved. As more people joined the singing group, the journey became a drag for me. Before we all used to have fun as a group, but now it was like everyone were so involved in singing. I decided not to sing and even contemplated of switching to another compartment or train as I did not want to be a hypocrite by leading a different lifestyle outside.

However one day I just gave it a try as I was going through some trying times. Once I started singing, I felt so much peace in my heart and I was seeing many lives being touched around me. There were even many circumstances when other passengers in the train were weeping and thanking us for tell them the good news (WOW imagine this happening in a public train). I never understood those moments then but I was actually just seeing with my own eyes how God was working in the lives of people. However I realized at that moment that we all have such a wonderful gift in us which when given to others, it can bring so much joy. Instead many a time, we are so caught up thinking about ourselves and our worries that we forget about what we can give others. That was the beginning of my christian walk with Christ.

I believe GOD has a higher calling in our lives and sometimes it is just good to sit back see him work in our lives
