I met this special someone when I was in secondary school/high school. He was very nice, and I just knew Him from a distance then.
He took a particular interest in me and requested to speak to me.
I pondered how and why someone so popular, and kind would want to converse with me. I eventually agreed to see him.
The day finally came; I was more curious than nervous.
I’m Emmanuel, He said
My name is Grace, I replied.
I know who you are, he told me.
I stared at him in surprise and wondered how he could have known “gentle and shy Grace.”
We talked at length, and it felt like he knew me, he understood me, he was aware of every detail.
I was bothered about certain things in my life, but he spoke softly, I will always be here for you (“like really😲, you will”. I thought)
Emmanuel was perfect for me, and he truly cared. We became terrific friends. He gave me a book to read then, guys, this book is incredible! Would share the name at the end of the post.
So after some days, I asked Him to tell me more about Himself as I have been the one talking all the while.
My name is Emmanuel, but I am also called Jesus Christ, I am that I am, Prince of peace, the son of God.
Our conversation continued, but I’d stop here in order not to prolong this post.
You see I had this encounter with Jesus years back and His Love is soo real, and it still is.
You might not know Him now, but He loves you, and He can truly change things for the better for you.
You can have your special conversation; He loves you so much, and He wants you.
If you want to accept Him today, say this.
Dear Jesus, I confess you as Lord. I know I have sinned and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I accept you as my personal saviour. I confess that you are the Son of God, and I will serve you from now on, and for the rest of my life. I believe that I am now saved. Glory to God. Hallelujah.
Amen!
Oh yeah, the book He referred me to is the Bible, best book everrrrr.
John 14:6.
I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to Father except through me.
OPEYEMI GRACE
