Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 
 
     
 

 

God is everything to me! I don't know a better way to start my story. I'm hoping the words you'll be reading will open your heart to seek God more & bring you to a place of wanting to know of His awesome love.

I'm assuming you want to know something about me, that's why you're reading my story. Well, let's start with a formal introduction. My name is Rex Verzosa, born in the Philippines. Right now I'm living in Montreal, Canada, it's a city six hours drive away from New York. We're just finishing up recording an album entitled "Promise". It's my first album, & I really believe that God opened this door for me so I can share to people like you, how awesome & faithful He is. Not that He needs people like me to promote Him or anything of that sort, but He did call people to be witnesses of His grace & His love through His son Jesus. I am a witness & this is my way of testifying of His goodness.

Now, where do I start? I was born in Philippines, some time between the end of june & the beginning of july, year 1976. Although, I do celebrate my birthday on the 13th of july, that's the day I was found. I'm one of those people who have no idea when exactly they were born, but I sure am grateful to God that I was born. I was left in front the gate of the house of a wonderful family, who became my adopted parents, well, my only parents for that matter.

It's not easy growing up not knowing where you come from. Let alone the fact that my biological parents left me. But I'm a firm believer that all things are for a purpose. I believe that it's not those who go through tough times that fail to live life, but it's those who never see beyond them. I also know that the painful things in life are not meant to be there to stop you, it's there to show you what you have to overcome to get to the end. But if there's one thing I am grateful for in what lifetime I've already lived, I am mostly grateful to God for His love & His grace. What else is there?

I grew up looking for a reason to live, but always finding an excuse to end it all. It's not easy trying to figure out why people can despise you before they get to even know you. I lived childhood trying to make sense of things that just don't make sense. I've explored every reason possible just to see things in a better perspective. But I've learnt that reasons can only give you possibilities, but still leave you searching for answers.

When I was younger, my parents would always force us to go to church:) Sunday was one of those days you take a shower, brush your teeth & put your clothes on, before you even actually wake up. I grew up in sunday school & children's church every weekend, & the christian camps during the summer. I grew up hearing that God loves me. The truth was, to me, it was so much more than just a story. It really was something I really hoped was true. Little by little I found myself praying when I was alone. It was a place where I found so much peace. I was taught that God knew everything & that He had a purpose for all the things I was going through. I found shelter, knowing that although I don't understand the things in my life, that He does & He only has what's best for me.

I went through a lot of doubts growing up. Doubts about God & about the fact that He's really there. I would find myself walking away from my faith in Him & seeking things that may make sense to do at the moment. But I've come to realize that there's no place I was meant to find refuge, but in His hands.

I never share my story to tell people how hard it is to be me, but only to let them know how good it is to be loved by God.

This album is a testimony of God's goodness & stories of my journey to find the place where I've come to know God & His love through His son Jesus. I know that God will bless your hearts as you listen to the songs, & I pray that it will help you draw closer to Him.
