Raymond Ayala,
given name of the retired Puerto Rican artist
Daddy Yankee,
reappeared this Sunday in a church in
Puerto Rico,
where he offered his life testimony for the first time, after announcing his conversion to Christianity last December.
It was in the 'Refugiados en su Presencia' church, in
Las Piedras,
in the east of the island, where Ayala, 47, admitted to the congregation that
"pride" was what separated him from God
in his artistic career. that exceeded three decades.
"Today I might be on a tour making millions of dollars, but I am here completely free and I have a joy that the world has not given me," 'The Maximum Leader' of reggaeton began by saying in his testimony, in a video that the influencer
Maikibackstage
downloaded on his social networks.
"It took me twenty years to return here, but pride was what separated me from God... Pride. That is why it is very important when we are on the path to recognize our weakness, because the human being is not born with humility. The human being born with pride," Ayala continued in his testimony.
Ayala added that human beings have
"humility through the Holy Spirit"
and that this attitude "is the root of all justice."
It was at the beginning of last December, upon completing his fifth concert 'La Meta' at the Coliseum of
Puerto Rico,
in San Juan, that Ayala announced that he was ending his artistic career, that "a story is over and a new story is going to begin, a new beginning", that of
living your life for Christ.
"My people, this day for me is the most important day of my life. And I want to share it with you, because living a life of success is not the same as living a life with purpose," he began by saying in a message that lasted almost three minutes, after concluding the show before thousands of people in the main show hall on the island.
"For a long time I tried to fill a void in my life that no one could fill. I tried to fill and find meaning in my life. Sometimes I appeared to be very happy, but something was missing to make me complete. And I have to confess that those days are over. "Ayala continued.
Given this and in front of his entire family, he assured that "someone was able to fill that void that he felt for a long time" and recognized "that for everyone he was someone, but I was nothing without Him."
