Expanding Horizons

God is expanding my horizons.....My life is in the hands of Jesus....

I recently saw a video about a Christian believer called R. Wurmbrand........who was persecuted and tortured for 14 years by solitary confinement when the Communist regime of Russia conquered Rumania......He is also the founder of the Voice of Martyrs.......He was imprisoned for preaching the gospel.......There surrounded by the grey walls of the prison,Richard after many years of confinement.......was very tired,spiritually,emotionally and physically......He had forgotten there were other colours than grey and there were other sounds other than silence.....
He had forgotten that the sun,moon,stars and flowers exist...............In the midst of torture,he
cried out to God.....He asked God to speak to Him directly because he had no-one to talk to........
N God did and asked him a very strange question.........God asked,"What is your name?".........
Richard Wurmbrand was very confused......surely Almighty God who had created him would know his name........When he had expected words of comfort....God had asked him this.............
He was scared to tell God that his name was Richard,because he had heard of a great saint called by the same name who had been killed for Christ's name.......He dare not tell he was a preacher either...........Finally he told God,"I have no name,help me to bear your name!!"...............

Amazing but true............Richard Wurmbrand after 14yrs of torture realised he was NOTHING!!
and God was everything.......I was so challenged by this testimony.....truly Jesus deserves that kind of loyalty and even more............O God.......give me that kind of strength to endure for your name's sake when I have to.....Amen....
