Selena Gomez Tearfully Shares her Testimony: 'I'm a Child
of God'
Actress and popstar Selena Gomez opened up about her
lifelong journey with God at this year's Hillsong Conference in Los
Angeles.
The 25-year-old singer shared her testimony in the form
of a letter, which details her life from a child until now.
"You already have faith but you have no idea what
you have faith in," Gomez said of her 15-year-old self. "You are
already being pursued by God who knit you together and called you His, but you
still don't know that this can be more than a nightly prayer, you don't know
that this will become the most important relationship, but just wait."
Gomez admitted life in Hollywood was confusing and
painful, until she realized how much God loves her.
"You will learn that your truest identity is loved
and chosen, as the chosen daughter of God," she continued.
"Eight years later, you will be sitting in a service
and everything within you will shift. The God that has been pursuing you all
along will feel tangible. The Holy Spirit will speak louder than anything that
has called for your attention."
Gomez said her faith and her fame grew until finally, she
had a real encounter with Jesus just two years ago.
"On your 23rd birthday, Jesus will become real to
you," the Texas native testified. "More than a nightly prayer, more
than the strength of your friends, more than the name in a devotional, He will
become real."
Gomez's testimony ends with a bold declaration of her
faith in Christ
"Selena, you are enough! Not because you've tried
hard, not because you have loved hard or put on your best face, not because you
have been given a large platform and not because others tell you 'you are
enough,'" she declared. "You are enough because you are a child of
God who has been pursued from the very beginning. You are enough because His
grace has saved you and covered you."
