He was so happy and would share testimonies with me of how his life was changing and the joy he was feeling inside. When we had his birthday party and everyone was asked to say something about him, most people talked about how much he had changed. He was so happy to hear that. Before our eyes, he became more open to people and became so popular. He always said that Christ transformed his heart. Even when he went home for the break, he told me people were commenting on how different he was. He loved to worship the Lord and pray as well as study his Bible. I remember, each time he and I would study together, He would even take the leadership and share a scripture and lead in prayer. As time went on, the more he grew in the Lord, the more transformation was evident and the more he became confident even in interacting with others. He spent his last days on earth encouraging people to be strong in the Lord and to live for Him. He made peace with everybody so even though our hearts ache because we miss him, we rejoice because we know he is with the Lord, resting in Him.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? or what shall a man give in return for his soul? -Matt 16:26
