I have Decided to Follow Jesus

 No Turning Back 

After Sunday English Service 

The hymn “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” was born out of deep suffering. A man in India lost his children, then his wife, and finally his own life, yet his final words became a song that has inspired generations: “No turning back, no turning back.”

In a much smaller way, I have come to understand a glimpse of that faith. When I said yes to serving as a volunteer, I left behind many things—comfort, stability, a regular salary, savings, and even opportunities that could have given me recognition and income. Here, far from home, I have faced sickness, weakness, debt, and uncertainty. Sometimes I find myself asking: “Why am I here?”

And yet, every time I reflect, the answer is the same: because I have chosen to follow Jesus. I may not have all the answers, I may not know what the future holds, but I know the One who holds my future.

The cross is before me, the world is behind me. My small sacrifices may not mean much in the eyes of the world, but I believe God can take even the little I offer and turn it into something fruitful. Like a seed that falls to the ground and dies before it grows, I trust that what I give today will one day bear fruit for His kingdom.

So I keep walking forward, with these words as my prayer:

“I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back, no turning back.”
