Jesus said He would never leave
nor forsake. That simply means that the redeemer, the healer, the provider, the
filler-upper with Himself ain't goin' nowhere. Love came one day to you and to
me and He will not leave, He came to make a home. "I have loved you with
an everlasting love" Jer 31:3.
In
February 1981 as I was driving to work I had just finished singing the Lord's
Prayer and suddenly my desperation for deliverance from the path or grave that
I was in and to become one with the truth and life caused me to cry out
silently from within, "Lord blind me like the Apostle Paul and run me into
the ditch right here right now so I will stop and listen to You."
Suddenly
the car was filled with a presence and I simply knew who it was. Then a form
started taking place in the passenger's seat composed of what seemed to be
millions, maybe billions of bright lights, brighter than the early morning sun
coming through the fog. I was frozen to the wheel with eyes straight ahead but
could see the vision, epiphany, manifestation of His presence with my
peripheral vision and then He spoke words of light entering the right side of
my loins and shooting through my whole being spirit, soul and body, "You
do not need an experience like Paul. I have been here all along."
The
vision left but not the presence, my right hand shot off the wheel into the air
and I exclaimed, "That's right! I have called You Lord but never allowed
You to be the Lord that You are!"
Life
came to me that day and gave me not only an experience like Paul but baptized
Me into the Light and I have never been the same. For the next nine years He
poured Himself into me through His living Word, which is Himself and though from time to time I succumb to the trappings of the world He is faithful to remind me He is ever present through experiences I've had in Him.
Yes, love came to stay that day and He's not going away.
