I could answer this for myself, but I'm looking to expand that testimony.

It is beyond my ability to describe. Man has not created words to adequately describe the joy, peace and power of having Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.

I lost my hearing 4 years ago and have many other medical issues. At first I thought what did I do? However, I have learned that my families medical history is not a good one. Also, I have learned that this life "is not about me". God has placed me in a position to go to a Christian College and learn all about the Bible. In John 9 Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind:
1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
Belonging to the one and true God is the most peaceful and enlightening part of my life. I cannot wait to go to heaven. I will not longer be in pain and I will be able to hear again. Praise God.

Oh thank you for posting this! Before the one word I could use to describe my life experience was "confusion". Why did my real Dad leave my mother for a bottle of booze? Why didn't he love me? Why did I get stuck with an embittered and unloving mother? I felt so confused and abandonned.
When I came to God I was alone, I had gotten pregnant and realized as an adult for the first time, later than most at age 27. I felt so lost and my destructive behavior was now taking prisoners...my baby. I fell on my face and bawled.."IF there is a God, then YOU have to be all powerful and you CAN reach me. YOU know me and I KNOW IT! PLEASE show yourself to me in some way. Some way that means something to me". I was so angry. I learned about grace 2 weeks later. The security I have in Christ Jesus and the LIFE He gives me and I imagine only another christian can know what I mean when I say, "PEACE". Peace like I have never known came over me. I cried and cried for 2 weeks, knowing I didn't have to be afraid of God condemning me for my past. Where my parents failed, God interceded. And now it is peace and peace and blessed peace. Thank you Jesus. I LOVE being a child of the living God. He knows me and loves me.

It's amazing!
To think that the creator of humanity would take the time to love us even when we reject him. He came because of this great love. For him to love me, a wretched sinner, is beyond comprehension.
I've done the most vile evil things in the site of a pure, holy person and he still loved me enough to die so I could be with him. He wants me with him!! I am one of his favorites, as are you. He likes me, he adores ME! why?
I feel honored to be loved by a holy God....

The realization of being a divine child feels sublimely peaceful, and entirely without fear or worry; very certain, very free; loving, understanding, and patient.

a sense of security. I grew up in a very broken home with no father and now it is a great feeling to acknowlege God the father as a supreme being who loves me and wont let me down (even though people will)... and I am NOT religious. that intellectual manipulative crap would screw it all up for me.

It feels right, and peacful. It makes me feel grateful ,that God would want me to be his child, and that he made a way for that to happen, even when I chose to sin and break that chance. Just knowing, sits right with me. Feelings come and go, but its all good, when my relationship is right with God.

It makes me feel that even though I am a little tiny speck in the universe, that I still have infinite value, because He will always love me as His daughter.

I feel a mix of emotions.
Inadequate is one (I didn't deserve Christ's sacrifice). I feel loved. I feel like no matter what happens, it will all be okay for me in the end.
