Reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
Rhesymau i gredu ym mhŵer y Beibl
‘I had a car accident in 2015 when I was 25. In 2014, my twin girls were born. In 2015, I had twin boys. They were ten weeks old and in special care when the accident happened. The children’s father was threatening me and stuff. This girlfriend of mine said, “Let’s drive round the block in my car and get away.” My kids’ father was chasing us. My friend crashed.
‘I should be dead, like. I had six broken ribs, a broken back and a head injury. My cheek bone was broken. I had two collapsed lungs and a hole in my aorta. I’ve got a brain injury, so my memory is really bad. I feel like God was giving me the chance to repent and live properly. I know it was.
‘Jeremiah 29.11 helped me. It says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
‘When I read this, I feel like there is so much more, a bigger picture that we don’t see. I feel like there is a plan for my life.
‘It’s easy for us to forget how much God has done for us, but I can see that God was there. When I think about that, I can’t stop crying. When I reflect on it, I know he’s been with me all the time. I am just really grateful to have a second life. He didn’t have to save me. I was a lost person, like. But he gave me a chance.
‘The girls are six now, the boys are five and the baby is nearly two. I have a life that’s about the future. This verse from the Bible is just embedded in my mind. It’s just there all the time.’
‘Cefais ddamwain car yn 2015 pan oeddwn yn 25 oed. Yn 2014, ganed fy merched sy’n efeilliaid. Yn 2015, cefais fechgyn sy’n efeilliaid. Roeddent yn ddeg wythnos oed ac o dan ofal arbennig pan ddigwyddodd y ddamwain. Roedd tad y plant yn fy mygwth fi a phethau. Dywedodd ffrind wrthyf, “Beth am i ni yrru o amgylch y bloc yn fy nghar a dianc.” Roedd tad fy mhlant yn ein herlid. Cafodd fy ffrind ddamwain.
‘Dylwn i fod yn farw. Roedd gen i chwe asen wedi eu torri, cefn wedi torri ac anaf i'r pen. Roedd asgwrn fy moch wedi torri. Roedd y ddau ysgyfant wedi dadchwyddo ac roedd twll yn fy aorta. Mae gen i anaf ar yr ymennydd, felly mae fy nghof yn ddrwg iawn. Rwy'n teimlo bod Duw wedi rhoi cyfle i mi edifarhau a byw'n iawn. Rwy'n gwybod mai felly oedd hi.
‘Fe wnaeth Jeremeia 29.11 fy helpu. Mae'n dweud, “Oherwydd myfi sy'n gwybod fy mwriadau a drefnaf ar eich cyfer,” medd yr ARGLWYDD, “bwriadau o heddwch, nid niwed, i roi ichwi ddyfodol gobeithiol.”
‘Pan rwy’n darllen hwn, rwy’n teimlo bod yna cymaint yn fwy, darlun mwy nad ydym yn ei weld. Rwy'n teimlo bod yna gynllun ar gyfer fy mywyd.
‘Mae'n hawdd i ni anghofio cymaint mae Duw wedi'i wneud drosom ni, ond gallaf weld bod Duw yno. Pan fyddaf yn meddwl am hynny, ni allaf stopio crio. Pan fyddaf yn myfyrio arno, rwy’n gwybod ei fod wedi bod gyda mi trwy'r amser. Rwy'n wirioneddol ddiolchgar o gael ail fywyd. Nid oedd yn rhaid iddo fy achub. Roeddwn i'n berson ar goll. Ond fe roddodd gyfle i mi.
‘Mae’r merched yn chwech nawr, mae’r bechgyn yn bump oed a’r babi bron yn ddwy. Mae gen i fywyd sy'n ymwneud â'r dyfodol. Mae'r adnod hon o'r Beibl wedi ei phlannu yn fy meddwl. Mae hi yno drwy’r amser.’
