| Hello Scott | (Feb. 09, 2001) |
I remember lying in bed, intently following the newest update of some news flash. Most of the time I would just think over the events of the day or week...relationships, successes, failures, etc.
I really enjoyed that time of reflection and entertainment each night. But, as always, opposites attract and I married some one who likes sleeping at bedtime, so I readily gave this up for my lovely wife.
The greatest night of reflection I ever had was the night I first meditated on God. I don't remember how or why He came to mind. I wasn't a Christian, nor attend church, nor did any of my family or friends. Nevertheless, He came to mind. I pondered His identity, wondering who He was.
So I asked Him, I said out loud "God, who are you?" Suddenly the whole room lit up. Instantly I was startled, afraid and then instantly the darkness returned. This all happened in less than two seconds. The room didn't brightly light up. The change was more like from blackness to a little brighter, then a full moon night. What startled me was its suddenness and non-directional nature. It didn't originate from outside, the curtains were drawn and the room was at the back of the house away from the road. Strangely, the light had no origin to trace back to like a flashlight does.
There I was in the darkness trying to figure out what just happened. So, I said it again, "God, who are you?" Nothing happened. I guess the first time I said it I was sincerely seeking God, the second time I was doing a little imperical testing. I could never recreate the incident.
That night I began seeking God and that very night God began revealing Himself to me. It would be five more years till I asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins. I don't know why God visited me that day. I look back on it as the day when God first said, "Hello."
