Onelife Conference: Matilda’s Story
I came to the Onelife Conference a year ago feeling quite hopeless and like God couldn’t use me or even speak to me. But on the last night during the last talk I encountered Jesus.
I could feel my heart beating in my chest and felt like I had to get up, leave the room and go to the prayer room, so I went. I remember kneeling down, I remember God asking me to do some really specific things, like taking off my watch and my necklace—I did it and I just fully focused on him and truly surrendered to him.
That’s where I encountered Jesus. That’s where I learned that I can still have intimacy with God even in a broken place, even when I’m feeling like a bit of a mess or not feeling worthy enough. Jesus pulled me out of that place, and now—a year later at this year’s Onelife Conference—I’m learning all about God’s faithfulness and can see how good he’s been.
My faith is in a better place now and I’m able to celebrate what God has done in my life over the last year and thank him for his faithfulness.
