I AM: Monica Bedi

I have always heard of Him as being there, but my faith in Him got stronger only during the five years I spent in the prison.
I have been brought up in a family of believers. Therefore, I have always heard of Him as being there, but my faith in Him got stronger only during the five years I spent in the prison. That was the time I tried to reach out to God and figure out what the real purpose of my life.There were times I would question Him for what I was going through, but never asked him for immediate answers.
It was in those days that I started reading the Bible and the Quran and as is written in the Bible faith comes by reading Gods words its true. I only got to know about my strength while I was lodged in the jail. We turn to God only when we are in trouble and if we don���t find any solutions from Him, we turn away from Him. I had faith in God and in myself, and He took care of me. Today, I am a much stronger person and value every minute of my life.
I only had God with me at that time because everyone I loved and trusted was away; it was my connect with Him that stopped me from getting into pessimism. I am full of positivity now. Had it not been for those days, I would not have been the optimistic and strong person I am today.
During the worst phase of my life in prison, I would sometimes break down in hopelessness and cry for hours. Then, suddenly I���d feel strong and be my cheerful self again. I could never understand where this strength and hope came from. It was some higher power that assured me I am not alone and everything would be fine. Right now, I am busy with a couple of concerts and reading scripts for films.
