peace. It is indeed something that I have never seen in my life.<br />

There are no other Doctor of Human hearts other than Jesus<br />

Christ. Living in peace is the sign that our hearts are restored,<br />

and when our hearts are restored, we breathe peace; and<br />

eventually have nothing but peace to give to each other. Then<br />

our country will be healed from hatred and wars. My vision now<br />

is to conduct outreaches as much<br />

as I can and to give people hope. I know what sorrow is. It can<br />

drive one mad and even kill them. My vision is for my country<br />

and the world as a whole, to experience the peace that Jesus has<br />

given to us. It is 25 years since I went through hard times. We<br />

have long gotten over many things. My in-laws and my sister are<br />

still around, but we have decided to put that behind us. My<br />

mother-in-law and I reconciled, and she gave her life to Christ<br />

running on a contemporary curriculum, but with a Christian<br />

foundation. God is extremely good to me. He has never left nor<br />

forsaken me. He has done me well. He has kept every promise<br />

He made to me. When you are publicly persecuted, you feel like<br />

you have the right to revenge. You might even get support from<br />

other people who may find your quest for vengeance legitimate.<br />

At the same time, however, the persecutor will do all in his<br />

power to justify his actions and sometimes, 80% of the people<br />

will be convinced that the persecution is well-deserved. It took<br />

me long to understand that human beings are prone to the<br />

harshness and dark times that come with life. Although I was not<br />

a good Christian, I later realized that God did not give the life of<br />
