Rhesymau i gredu ym mhŵer y Beibl
‘When I was a teenager there was pressure to have popular friends and have boyfriends. I didn’t see myself as being in the successful categories. I had a lot of feelings of rejection. That brings you down.
‘How does it help me if God loves me? I couldn’t see the power of God in my life.
‘There was one day I felt so low. A friend texted me Joshua 1.5, which says, “I will be with you, I will never abandon you”. This verse reminds me that I am not alone.
‘Today I work in a country where English is my second language. I teach in my second language. I always feel that I’m not good enough as nothing is familiar.
‘But, in this verse God says that I am good enough and he is with me. That keeps me going. It gives me hope. I’ve got that verse on a Post-it note on the wall at home and it reminds me that I’m not alone.
‘Living abroad can make you feel uncertain of who you are. But God is the stable bit of my life. I can trust that he will not leave me or forsake me. God is in control.’
‘Pan oeddwn yn fy arddegau roedd pwysau i gael ffrindiau poblogaidd a chael cariadon. Ni welais fy hun fel un yn y categorïau llwyddiannus. Cefais lawer o deimladau o gael fy ngwrthod. Mae hynny'n eich tynnu chi i lawr.
‘Sut mae'n fy helpu os yw Duw yn fy ngharu i? Ni allwn weld grym Duw yn fy mywyd.
‘Bu un diwrnod pan oeddwn i'n teimlo mor isel. Fe anfonodd ffrind neges destun ataf gyda Josua 1.5, sy'n dweud, “Bydda i gyda ti, Wna i ddim dy siomi di na dy adael di.” Mae'r adnod hon yn fy atgoffa nad ydw i ar fy mhen fy hun.
‘Heddiw, rydw i'n gweithio mewn gwlad lle mae Saesneg yn ail iaith i mi. Rwy'n dysgu yn fy ail iaith. Rwyf bob amser yn teimlo nad ydw i'n ddigon da gan nad oes unrhyw beth yn gyfarwydd.
‘Ond, yn yr adnod hon mae Duw yn dweud fy mod i'n ddigon da a'i fod gyda mi. Mae hynny'n fy nghadw i fynd. Mae'n rhoi gobaith i mi. Mae'r adnod hon gen i ar nodyn gludiog ar y wal gartref ac mae'n fy atgoffa nad ydw i ar fy mhen fy hun.
‘‘Gall byw dramor wneud ichi deimlo’n ansicr ynghylch pwy ydych chi. Ond Duw yw rhan sefydlog fy mywyd. Gallaf ymddiried na fydd yn fy siomi nac yn fy ngadael. Duw sydd yn rheoli.’
