“After an 18-year relationship and the joint responsibility raising three children, Beniazeh Gorji-Dinka found grappling with overwhelming despair
when his partner passed away. The intense pain led him to seclude himself shutting out the world. However, a series of encounters with friends and a single invitation to an event became the turning point of his transformation.
“My world came crashing down when I lost my partner. Friends, family, and members of the Universal Church attempted to reach me, offering support and comfort, but I rejected their efforts, choosing instead to face my grief alone.
“Days turned into months, and I neglected my work, personal hygiene, and general well- being. I became consumed by sorrow. I lived in isolation so effectively that even my neighbours thought I had left the country. Suicidal thoughts bombarded my mind, but I resisted, determined not to give in to those dark thoughts.
“It took an ultimatum from my brother to force me to confront the reality of my situation. Encouraged by his persistence and positive response after months of avoiding his calls, I took my first step outside in nearly two months.
“In a series of unexpected encounters, I bumped into three individuals from the Universal Church. This led to an invitation to the Good Friday service. I believed that God had seen my suffering and used them to reach out to me. Despite my initial concerns about how I would be received, I was welcomed with open arms.
“This positive experience inspired me to return for the Come and See event on Sunday. The message resonated with me so deeply that I attended services regularly. I anointed myself daily with the Blessed Oil* that I received at the event—an act of faith that helped me find the willpower to fight to overcome my situation.
“After each meeting, I felt a little lighter. The support, the teachings, and with the use of my faith, I gradually began to speak to the advisors about my struggles. It was only when I chose to be sincere about my situation that I found the help I so desperately needed. Today, I can gladly say that I am no longer in a state of sadness. I have found peace within myself and with my family. While challenges still come my way, the difference now is that I can use my faith as a powerful tool to overcome them.”
