Gigi Roche’s Testimony | Searching for Meaning in Her Life // 100 Huntley Street

0:00 [Music] 0:01 as a child I would say my childhood was 0:04 actually quite turbulent so that was a 0:08 time of reflection for me to really look 0:10 at you know how do I perceive myself 0:13 truly to the outside world I don’t 0:16 believe that was very apparent you know 0:18 we’re the ones that know what is going 0:20 on inside and but that’s one of the 0:24 reasons probably that the search began 0:27 you know finding ways to truly fill that 0:29 void I was reading about different 0:32 religions and I have friends of all 0:35 faiths so this is not an offense to any 0:38 person you know and I love people and I 0:41 don’t for some reason and I believe now 0:43 is the Holy Spirit who bears witness to 0:45 the truth within us and the truth is 0:47 written on our hearts for some reason 0:49 every time I picked up a book and I saw 0:51 the value I saw some merit I saw good 0:53 but I just said that’s that’s not it 0:56 that’s not the thing and then later on 0:58 him at another person who I thought 1:00 seemed more spiritual and I said you 1:03 know is Jesus God or is Jesus real and 1:05 she said something like well you know 1:07 there are many Christ lights and when 1:10 she said that something in my heart just 1:12 said that’s a lie that’s not true 1:14 that’s just what came in in my heart and 1:18 I went home and every other book that I 1:20 had consulted prior to accept the Word 1:23 of God but just become my favorite book 1:26 I just threw out I just felt in my heart 1:30 I need to go to church and I felt 1:31 something drawing me calling me and I 1:35 remembered when I went to church and I 1:36 entered into the church 1:38 I remembered walking to the front and I 1:40 looked around and I said oh my god I set 1:42 out I was with a friend and I said I’ve 1:44 been so far away 1:45 I felt that I was a stranger to this to 1:49 to to God and that the church is a 1:52 person and that person is Jesus and he 1:54 was the one that was drawing me to his 1:56 word his truth to everything that he so 2:00 desires to give us as they asked him I 2:04 believe most people want meaning in 2:06 their life we all have that in common 2:08 I think the majority of us who want 2:09 meaning in their lives and I would say 2:12 to people if you get to a point where 2:15 you have tried everything and it still 2:17 does not work I hope you will give Jesus 2:21 a chance I hope you will give the feet 2:23 the Christian faith the chance and I 2:26 promise that you will not lose
