Perla shares her two minute testimony:
"Hi, my name is Perla. I became a disciple when I was 20 years old. I was just starting my college career.
When I became a disciple, from the outside, my life looked pretty normal. Nothing too crazy: going to school and getting good grades. I wasn’t involved with drugs or alcohol. I seemed like a normal daughter, a good daughter to my parents.
But inside, I was carrying a lot of resentment toward people who had hurt me in the past. There was a lot of pain and a lot of suffering. Above all, I wasn’t able to forgive certain people, and I wasn’t able to overcome those difficult moments in my life.
I was beginning to struggle with things like depression, but once I came to know Christ and learned about His love, His Word, and His forgiveness, I learned what it really means to forgive someone from the heart. And that brought inner peace to me.
I realized that there is healing in forgiveness—not only when we forgive other people, but also when we forgive ourselves, when we experience the forgiveness that Christ has given us and understand everything He did so that we could have a full and abundant life. That brought healing and light into my life.
I am very grateful for the people who took the time to study the Bible with me. And if you have the opportunity, I invite you to get to know a little more about God."
