In the absence of space and time, love existed. He was sufficient enough for everything so much that He birthed His reflection and thus thought of me. In His heart and glory, He carried me till a point He had planned out a purpose for me. For some time, I came into living in the vaguely familiar memories or stories of Him even if I was almost indifferent to knowing Him.
Although stories were told to learn lessons from which to live; the story of love dying on a tree or living as me only without an end didn’t just seat well with me. As I grew in the physical sense, no impact was felt, no purpose reflected or meaning seen other than the fact I knew of such things as freedom, sin, holiness, beauty, grace, heaven and hell. Believing was simply agreeing to the supposed facts but not living in the affirmed truth which I had experienced. To me, He was an abstract thing, myth until one evening I MET HIM!
He wasn’t one naturally hidden except it took more to the eye to view Him. With all the usual stories I didn’t expect much neither did His appearance, His quiet nature, determined walk, mending kit and hot breaking skills impress me. He walked toward me, His eyes fixed on me yet seeing into me and then!—–He hit me. I felt and knew suddenly all past deeds were nothing compared to knowing Him. His virtue seemed to flow through me as I evidently could pray, sing and praise without much thinking. My blood was pumping, my heart beating quite normally but somehow an extraordinary thing in me came to knowledge. With a repenting heart, a thankful mind and a bewildered brain I realized —– LOVE had found me and came to live in me! We didn’t talk much although He seemed to understand me, I sometimes act wrong but He wisely corrects me. I may not have fully understood Him but if I stick to Him, I remain loved and pass it unto others. With my past written off, my present being led and my future assured, love did rescue me so I walk in faith, hope and trust till I be exactly like Him.
