What is Your Cardboard Testimony?
This powerful video made me cry. God changes lives. This church had the idea to record the changes before and after in a few words on the front and back of a piece cardboard. Each one spoke volumes!
I loved the one where the woman walked out with her neurologist.
Her cardboard read, “Diagnosed with MS in May of 2007″
Her neurologists’ said, “Her Unchurched doctor”
He flipped his to reveal, “Baptized Easter of 2008″
She flipped hers to reveal, “Worth It!”
Here is mine:
Here are some interesting ones I found on the web:
Side 1: Slaved to sin, performed to be saved & accepted.
Flipside: Adopted, forgiven, justified, changing, grace given!
Side 1: Self-sufficient . . .
Flipside: Finding His grace is more than sufficient
Side 1: Selfish
Flipside: Servant
Side 1: Porn-addicted, attention-starved, mad-at-the-world, unforgiving, judgmental hypocrite and liar…
Flipside: Liberated, broken but healing son of the King bent on seeking first the kingdom of God.
Side 1: People pleasing, guilt motivated, self righteous, critical, goody-two-shoes, pharisee
Flipside: RECOVERING people pleaser and pharisee who has been set free by radical grace
Side 1: Shallow, filled with anger, love is only conditional, unforgiving, selfish.
Flipside: Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
I would love to know what your cardboard testimony would say. Take a few minutes now to think about it. Add your before and after life change in the comments.
Mine reads like this
Side 1 – Broken, Abused, Slut
Side 2 Whole, Loved, Committed mother and wife – Bride of Christ!
Mine is:
Side 1: Sexually abused by family member, spent next 35 years proving my
“worth”
Flip side: The Creator of Heaven and Earth has shown me–I AM WORTH IT!
[...] What is Your Cardboard Testimony? [...]
Powerful!
my cardboard testimony:
side 1: slave to sin, verbally abused by mother, suffered depression and suicide attempts, divorced and rebellious
side 2: set free by His blood, loved by my Father, filled with joy and remarried taking her Godly role as a Proverbs 31 woman.

Here’s mine:-
Side 1 – Independent, rebellious, stuborn, prideful and self-centred.
Side 2 – Dependent and submitted to Him, humbled by His love and grace and the last one’s still being worked on right now – I need a double portion of grace for My Bug Life to be dealt with by a loving God in the manner He sees fit.

One side would read always a victim.Now it would say Survivor!
My first side would say: Cut myself to hide the pain and anger that consumed me.
The reverse would be: My chains are gone. I’ve been set free by the blood of Christ!
Front: I haven’t spoken to my dad in over five years.
Back: I speak to my FATHER every day.
Thanks so much for sharing this. It really touched me.
My cardboard testimony would be:
