The Experience That Changed Me Forever

On Palm Sunday 1973 I had an experience that changed my life forever.  For me it was a true Born Again moment.  Forty three years later I can still see and feel that experience as if it happened only a second ago.  I am always brought back to that moment no matter where I wander; in good years, bad years, prodigal years, desert years…God continually reminds me that I am His and He is mine.  When all is said and done in my life, it is the only thing that truly matters to me.

Presence without form
Communion without words
An encounter of inner transformation
Unseen to the human eye
But clearly felt by the heart and soul
And I was changed forever.

The Seed of Life within opened
The Scriptures came to life
The stories made perfect sense
They spoke to me
They moved me
And I knew they were true.

In that moment in time
I fell head over heels in love
With the Carpenter from Nazareth
Jesus…God’s only Son
Through it all that love has never changed
It only grows deeper, realer, and truer.
