IT WAS A WEDNESDAY EVENING, SPRINGTIME. I WAS WALKING HOME FROM CHURCH FROM THE WEDNESDAY EVENING SERVICE WHEN AN OVERWHELMING SADNESS AND DARKNESS SEEMED TO INGULF ME. I FELT SO DIRTY. WHEN I REACHED HOME I WENT TO MY ROOM, PREPARED FOR BED, PICKED UP A BOOK (system bible study) THAT HAD THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS IN SUBJECTS. I HAD BEEN READING THIS BOOK FOR SOMETIME, BUT MOSTLY JUST TO HAVE SOMETHING TO READ. THIS EVENING WAS DIFFERENT. I READ A BIT...THEN WITHIN MY SPIRIT I SAID "GOD, IF YOU ARE REAL, I WANT TO KNOW IT BEYOND THE SHADOW OF ANY DOUBT THAT I HAVE BEEN CLEANSED AND SAVED" I TURNED THE LIGHT OUT, CLOSED MY EYES, AND I IMMEDIATELY FELT 2 FINGERTIPS TOUCH MY FOREHEAD, HEAT WENT THRU ME FROM THE TOP OF MY HEAD TO THE SOLES OF MY FEET. I WAS 16 YEARS OLD AND THIS STARTLED ME I OPENED MY EYES AND JESUS STOOD IN THE CORNER OF MY ROOM WITH HIS ARMS OUTSTRETCHED TO ME. OHHHHH, HIS COMPASSIONATE BLUE EYES, AS IF YOU COULD SEE ALL THE WAY THRU ETERNITY. HE SMILED AND A PEACE I HAD NEVER KNOWN FLOODED MY BEING. NEEDLESS TO SAY....I WAS BORN AGAIN.

footnote: to anyone reading this. Please do not think one has to have this type of experience to be born again. For years I would not share this because I thought people would think I was nuts. I have learned through the years that God deals with each individual at their point of need. Just know that you are a very special person in the eyes of GOD and HE loves you so much; more than we will ever grasp. Perhaps the Lord will allow me to share other experiences I have had with HIM at a later time.

Connie - I had a deacon who was a German POW and was tortured and confined to a small box where he had to remain in the fetal position. He lost track of time. In his later years, he had to have one of those tests done where your body slides into a cone. He said his time of confinement flashed back to him, and he broke out in a cold sweat knowing that he could not undergo the test. He said Jesus appeared to him in that room and held his hand so that the medical staff could do the procedure. He said he never told anyone of that appearance of Jesus to him but me and a few close family members for fear they would think he was crazy. You are extraordinarily blessed to have had this special appearance of our blessed Lord in your youth. Blessings and peace.

Wow! Connie. That encounter must have been an amazing experience! I have heard it said by colleagues that Jesus will visit us if need be, but I've not come across anyone who actually experienced it! I only wish He would manifest Himself to me!
God Bless You Too!

Thank you for writing this my Sister. He cannot be put in a box and meets each one of us in His own unique way perfectly relating to our personality, doesn't He?

Connie...Welcome to FaithWriters...I've just read all of your submissions and am impressed...writing from the heart, does work...keep on writing...this piece needs some paragraph structure and drop the caps...at least in my opinion...other than that it is your story and a great testimony...dave
