Summary
Verse: "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life." (Matthew 19:29)
Sajeda Wilson lived decades before opening a Bible. Yet, even from birth, the Lord prepared and pursued her heart in beautiful and surprising ways.
Sajeda, a former devout Muslim who shared in our Vestavia community, led a works-based lifestyle that eventually left her lacking—and looking. Hear how years of reading and research, together with the work of the Spirit, resulted in surrender to Jesus.
In this episode, you will learn:
– The Lord prepares and pursues the hearts of His people.
– He is sovereign over our upbringing and uses all parts of our lives to draw us to Himself.
– Jesus longs for all people across different cultures, traditions, and religions to know their creator and true purpose in following Him.
