00:00:09,756 --> 00:00:15,427
(cave and water dripping sounds)

3
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:20,496
(footsteps on rocks and water)

4
00:00:22,473 --> 00:00:24,140
When I was young

5
00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:29,069
I had a lot of anger, loneliness, and emptiness inside.

6
00:00:29,069 --> 00:00:32,654
I was unable to resolve these feelings on my own.

7
00:00:33,238 --> 00:00:35,065
During that time,

8
00:00:35,065 --> 00:00:38,910
I became obsessed with, and addicted to stealing.

9
00:00:39,286 --> 00:00:42,454
I couldn't stop myself from doing it.

10
00:00:42,454 --> 00:00:43,841
Almost everyday,

11
00:00:43,841 --> 00:00:47,265
the act of stealing was a part of my life.

13
00:00:55,214 --> 00:00:56,292
Then one day,

14
00:00:56,292 --> 00:01:01,270
I thought of Jesus Christ in the Bible that I had heard about when I was a child.

15
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:04,354
But I thought to myself, even if I prayed, 

16
00:01:04,354 --> 00:01:08,312
there was no way to know if praying would change me.

17
00:01:09,541 --> 00:01:11,541
(Music)

18
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:31,615
I became afraid of my life falling apart forever.

19
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:36,140
I couldn't manage my heart on my own.

20
00:01:36,140 --> 00:01:39,668
For the first time, I prayed by myself.

21
00:01:41,470 --> 00:01:45,668
"Please help me!" I prayed, shouting from the bottom of my heart. 

22
00:01:45,668 --> 00:01:48,283
Then the tears just kept flowing, 

23
00:01:48,283 --> 00:01:51,059
and it continued for 2 or 3 days.

24
00:01:51,059 --> 00:01:53,392
Then, after a few days,

25
00:01:53,392 --> 00:01:55,760
I came back to myself, and was very surprised.

26
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,457
My desire to steal was gone!

27
00:01:59,457 --> 00:02:05,027
It was a great miracle that I had stopped stealing, even for a few days.

28
00:02:05,027 --> 00:02:06,659
At that moment, I realized

29
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:09,819
Jesus took my sins to the cross.

30
00:02:09,819 --> 00:02:14,321
I knew my sins are forgiven and I am saved.

31
00:02:14,321 --> 00:02:17,200
Jesus is my Savior.

32
00:02:19,192 --> 00:02:20,729
[Music]

33
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:23,835
For me,

34
00:02:23,835 --> 00:02:25,712
I used to be a thief,

35
00:02:26,110 --> 00:02:30,072
but now in Christ, my life is transformed into one that rejoices in giving.

36
00:02:30,072 --> 00:02:33,220
Jesus Christ is a wonderful God, who is alive, and works in our life.

37
00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:34,678
Through this experience,

38
00:02:34,678 --> 00:02:38,598
I was able to receive good news from God.
