My name is Bambang Nugroho. When most people think home is the best place to live, it does not make sense for me. In my opinion, home is alike a hell as I was used to seeing my parents did violence. I once went home late due to fighting with someone. When my father knew it, he scolded me, putting me into bathroom, hitting my head with a dipper and flushing my head with the cold water.
For I could no longer live in that house, I decided to run away and lived in prostitution areas. I worked as a procurer and had a girlfriend who was a prostitute. In order to grow my business, I used black magic.
Its result was incredible and it made me being addicted to sex more and more. Furthermore, I also used drugs. Though my life was completely ruined, I still loved my mother. In order to please her, I did her request to marry a woman she chose. I had no love to that woman and as a result, I divorced her.
In 2008, I remarried someone else without love for the sake of my child and I was still not changed. However, one day I once had a willingness to change. My wife was faithful and it encouraged me to end all this bad dream.
When I was being confused, I had bad news coming from my mother. She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and taken care in hospital. I came along and looked after her in saba all days. When I was in hospital, I saw a strange man whom was used to visiting my mother. He is a pastor and his name is Abraham. He was not only visiting my mother but also praying for her all days until she passed away.
In my grieving, I was motivated to looking for God. I wanted to feel His love. One day, I attended a Sunday service and felt His presence. It impressed me so well and then I ventured to confess all I had done to my wife. Amazingly, she forgave and received me.
“Now I have a new life. I always keep my heart and mind when seeing women wear indecent dressing. “I am genuinely powerless but God enables me. My hope is not in vain and I feel living with God is simple if only we cling on Him. I was used to living in occultism and wasteful life. I am feeling peace now and it can not be purchased by any material things. I am never ashamed to share my past as I have already been the new man in God,” said Bambang
