Things could
not have been worse. There I was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean feeling like no one knew me or loved me. In a world
of 5 billion people I felt all alone... and I was. I was at the end of my rope. I hadn't the strength to go on. Suicide
was not an option. I firmly believed there was a way to be happy but what was it? Loneliness was
ruining my days while nightmares were stealing my nights. My heart was sick; my brain fried.
The guilt of so many stupid choices was making it difficult for me to hold my head up high.
Like a directionless zombie I staggered through my empty days. After twenty-two years of a meaningless
existence and agonizing pain I sobbed like a broken child. I wept like never ever before. I had heard of Jesus
and believed he exists but did not know how to trust my life to him. I said, “Oh Lord, I
promise I’ll be good, please take away this loneliness.” I collapsed onto the floor weeping,
my face buried in my arm. My eyes were tightly shut but I could see Light. I saw myself through
the eyes of Jesus Christ. He felt an overwhelming compassion for this young man lying helplessly on the floor. He
descended to touch me. I struggled to get up, making it only to my knees. He surrounded me. His Holy Spirit began to penetrate
my rib cage. I raised my arms and looked from side to side. I could not see anything but felt Jesus. The terrible, debilitating
loneliness was washing away. I knew in an instant that Jesus loved me too!, that his power is real, and that heaven is a
reality. I understood that this is the "Stuff" that raises people from death. God
has forgiven me! Suddenly, my life had meaning! Great sorrow was being replaced by joy. I
understood that this Holy Spirit is the One that brings eternal life. Jesus is a Presence, seperate
and apart from anything or anyone I had ever experienced. Like millions of other people I experienced
the love of Jesus Christ because I called out to him in truth. My life would never be the same again.
This whole revelation was the beginning of a Higher Education for me. One of the first things I did
after this miraculous experience from God was to purchase a Bible. I read about the life of Jesus
and how he loved all people. What he did for me - and countless others like me - he also did for
people in Palestine two thousand years ago. Jesus walked throughout the land proclaiming the Good
News. This good news is the fact that we are all part of God’s creation and that there is a purpose to our lives.
God loves us all and sent his son to show us the way to heaven. Like God himself, heaven is a holy
place. Those who turn from sin and accept Jesus will receive eternal life. Those who stubbornly
choose their own selfish, self centered life style will never know the wonderful things God has prepared
for them. Do you have to go now? Save this link for more great reading
about Jesus Christ - God's only begotten Son - so that your faith and love can continued to be nourished sometime again soon!
Thank you! May the Lord give you His Peace.
