I was born in a Christian family, was a regular church goer, and activelyparticipated in all church activities.

Whenever I made any mistake, I would repent! After a few days, I would sinand again repent. This was the usual cycle in my life! I worked hard forpeople to accept me as a good man.

In 2003, I was interacting with a Korean pastor. He spoke about humannature, through Jeremiah 17:9 (“The heart is deceitful above all things andbeyond cure. Who can understand it?"), Romans 3:23 (“for all have sinnedand fall short of the glory of God”) and Romans 3:4a (“Not at all! Let God betrue, and every human being a liar”). I realised that a person cannot beentirely good. I started losing belief in myself. I started making resolutionsto avoid sinning and live a good life. But, when I stopped relying on myselfand depended on God, Jesus entered my heart. He spoke to me throughRomans 3:24 (“and all are justified freely by his grace through theredemption that came by Christ Jesus”), and Hebrews 10:10 (“And by thatwill, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of JesusChrist once for all”).

As a human being, I know that I cannot help but sinning. But, regardless ofwhat the sin is, is there any sin that cannot be washed by the blood ofChrist? Since then, I have stopped looking at myself through my eyes, butthrough the eyes of Jesus who has sanctified me through His blood.

In the past 12 years, I have always submitted my problems, big or small, toGod. Due to God’s grace and faithfulness, my life has become strong. Had Ibeen on my own, I would have surely fallen. As David says in Psalm 23:4,“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you arewith me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me...” Christ is my Shepherdand takes care of all my needs and gives me the strength to face allchallenges. Even though I have to walk through the deepest valley, I will notfear. My Lord is beside me!

Testimony

Mr Surjit Pal, Superintendent, TLM Hospital, Salur

Even though I have to walk through the deepest valley,I will not fear. My Lord is beside me!

Why the name, for our Prayer DiaryThe INTERCESSOR

The INTERCESSOR

We, as Christians, believe that God is willing to listen to our intercessions about the issues that concern us as an

organisation. And so, all TLMTI units, during morning devotion do intercessory prayer, and hence we have given the name

to our prayer diary!
