Testimony of Muslim believer

I am reading a book entitled, "Secret Believers"-'What Happens When Muslims Believe in Christ.'
It is written by Brother Andrew and Al Janssen.
I was moved by the testimony of one of the believers. He was in hiding because his family would have killed him for his newfound faith in Christ. At one of the secret church meetings, this is what Ahmed shared.

"' I am your great Lord.' One day man uttered this expression through the lips of Pharaoh's and Caesars. He has reaffirmed it consistently through actions of kings, princes, presidents, and lords. In moments of inebriation from the cup of his own egotism, man, in his historic arrogance, has asserted that he is god. How has mankind deceived himself to such an extreme?"

"In the fullness of time, the one true God, who has no earthly likeness, the holy, eternal, and omnipotent God, chose to become a human being. He chose to come down to us from His high place. He came down from His high heaven to become one of us, to share in our pain and dreams. It's what any truly great king would do to express solidarity with his people. He could not withdraw to his ivory tower. This God of love, filled with compassion and mercy, came down to us. He did not just descend to the atmosphere, no, He came down to our dirt. He walked among us as He still does, doing good. He heals those bound by the devil, whose egotism has overpowered them, blinding them lest they see the light that came into the world. They didn't realize the darkness of their own selfishness. Selfishness is the most repugnant death. It leads down a false path causing one to gain the world and all things while losing the greatest thing-his own soul and the Savior."

"Imagine it. Man asserts his deity and rejects God's becoming man. Where's the logic in that?"

Where indeed? Brother Andrew was moved by the depth of the young believer's insight. Here was a man who understood the gospel. How he wished the church around the world could hear this message and learn more about these wonderful believers!...

At the same meeting, they sang a song that one of them had written, "We who love You are willing to die for You. No sacrifice is too great."
Andrew's eyes welled up with tears, knowing that the truth of these words could be fulfilled at any moment for these believers.

I'm reading the book of Acts right now and when the believers were persecuted for sharing their faith, they prayed for more boldness to share; not for deliverance from persecution.

I am thinking about these things.
