I am a Christian and have always believed because my Mother raised me in the words of the Bible, One day many years later, I lay outside of surgery alone. As I lay there, another woman was sedated and lay next to me. My husband had just told me he was leaving to have lunch with our son. As I lay there I thought, I bet her husband is here waiting so she doesn’t have to be alone. A tear ran down the side of my face to my right ear. All of a sudden a song I had on a record came to my mind, ‘If your lost and cannot find your way, I’ll guide you to a happier, brighter day, just call my name, I’ll take your hand.’ I said, “Oh God I’m afraid, take my hand.” Everything got completely silent, waves of wonderful love flowed from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet, then back to the top of my head and to the bottom of my feet again.
The Dr. took my hand and said, the nurse will be here to give you a shot. I reached out to her and said “it’s alright.” I walked up and down the halls of the Hospital for 3 days, smiling with tears running down my face, and when asked what was wrong, I answered, “I’m so happy!” I will always remember the sweetness of the moment outside of surgery. It never stopped showing me evidence of what happened to me. As I was walking down the street by my home getting the strength to go back to work, there was an evergreen tree in their yard, the ends of each branch had a softer lighter color of Green. As I stood there, these words came to me, “even the trees are born again.”
That was 1979, I am now 94 years old. I have never stopped being surprised at the work of salvation in my life. It is the same work as a child who is born and grows into a young woman, who has fallen in love with her suitor and finds He already loves her. He becomes her bridegroom, setting the young maiden apart from the world, with the promise of a happy forever life with Him. I wish everyone who has not known about their bridegroom, will come to meet Him. It is a love story far greater than words can tell because it starts in the heart and fills your entire life.
I pray today, you will meet Him, and I know He wants to meet you. Thank you Jesus for saving my soul and making me whole. Amen,
