| I was either 5 or 6 years old (I can't remember for sure). I shared a bedroom with my little sister at the time. I had been sleeping. I awoke and was sitting straight up in my bed. There in front of me stood Jesus Christ. He was standing just above my sister's bed (her bed was right next to mine). A peace came over my young body. Although I never met Him before, I immediately knew it was Jesus. He did not speak to me out of His mouth. He spoke His thoughts into my mind. He simply told me, not to argue with my sister.
My thoughts raced. I wanted to explain why I argued with my sister. Jesus knew what I was thinking. Before I could utter a word, my thoughts we're seized, and a knowing came over me. I simply was being told, and I did not need to provide Him an explanation. (He knew everything) I don't remember Him leaving, nor going back to sleep.This entire interaction lasted 5 seconds. The next day when I awoke, and for months after that, I could not stop thinking about His visit. Growing up, my alcoholic parents taught me that I had no value.Their words and actions were abusive and negligent. I was placed into a foster home till I was 18 years old. I would grow to an adult, still broken. I abused drugs, and alcohol. I tried very hard to take my life on two occasions. I learned some things about Jesus Christ in those 5 seconds that I spent with Him as a child. As I grew even older, I often meditated on that visit. I also have read and study the bible daily. It turned out to be what fixed my brokenness. Here is just some of what I have learned: * Jesus Christ knew what was going to happen to me, years before it came to pass. * Even if we do not have parents that care for us in this world, we have a Father in heaven. * He knows what we think, and what is in our heart. * He can communicate to us, without speaking. * Although He came to me first, it took me coming to Him before I could start living life in the light. * Jesus takes child abuse seriously. Matthew 18:6 (American Standard Version) But whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea. * Jesus had long brown wavy hair. He had a white robe on, and He stood in the air with confidence and ease. * In the sense of secular values, the world would tell us that if Jesus came to visit someone on earth, that He would probably come to visit a famous movie star, or a world-leader. But Jesus came and visited a little girl that no one wanted. *His precious character was established to me, in the fact that He even came to visit. |
