Hello, my name is Yusuf, I am 16 years old. I was born into a Muslim family, but by God’s grace I later came to faith in Christ.
When I was 15, still a new believer, I was working in a very difficult job for someone my age. I was in the tile business, and because I was tall and strong from sports, my boss would often use me for the hardest tasks. Every day I had to unload a full truck of 60x120 tiles about 60 heavy boxes in total. For 12 hours straight I carried those boxes, and every day I felt exhausted and in pain.
At work we only had one short break, 15 minutes at noon. While others used that time for prayer in their own way, I would use it to pray to the Lord Jesus. That was the only moment of rest and hope for me in those long, painful days.
One night after work, when I was completely worn out, I went to bed and had a dream. In the dream, the sky was very dark. Suddenly, a luxurious car came and picked me up, driving me past many beautiful villas. At first, it seemed impressive, but soon I began to feel uneasy and afraid, as if I were in danger. Just when I was about to call for help, the sun rose. As the light broke through, I stepped out of the car. My fear was gone, and I was filled with peace. Then I woke up.
I believe the Lord was speaking to me through that dream showing me that even in the darkest and most confusing moments, His light will always lead me out of fear and into peace.
