My head spins with thoughts.
My body is bent with emotions.
Joy, regret, anger, peace,
love, fear, shame, flow through
me like a torrent filled stream.
I fast.
What have I done?
What am I to do?
The vision,
the light,
the voice,
I hear it over and over.
It rings now through my head,
my body, my soul, and
my spirit.
“It is I, Jesus,”
and my heart stopped,
my breath caught,
my stomach clinched,
and I bend forward
falling to the ground
my destination not far
before me.
What have I done?
What am I to do?
I stay where I have fallen,
where blindness
was made apparent and
a part of me.
It’s three days now
of prayer, fasting,
and blindness.
The voice, the words
repeat
over and over to me
in my head, heart, and
spirit.
“It is I, Jesus,”
I can see though I am blind.
I was blind and now I see.
Three Days and I finally see.
My vision returns and
I see through my total blindness.
He has been sent to me,
The Comforter,
and I am born again.
New.
A new man. A new person.
A new life. A new mission.
And the words of the vision
thunder through me
one last time,
“It is I, Jesus, whom you are persecuting.”
“No more,” I shout back,
“It is you, The Christ, and I understand.
I know.
Blind Saul is no more."
“I Paul,
a servant of
Jesus Christ
called
to be an apostle
separated unto
the gospel of God.”
