It was a hot day, and I was out by the water playing with small grey pebbles. One after another, I skipped them. I found one that had a crack in it and decided to skip it. As I let go of the pebble and watch as it skips over the water. A boat pulls up, stopping the pebble in its path. I quickly hide before someone notices it was me,but there was only one man on that boat. He was different though. His eyes were full of love and his smile was welcoming, as if he already knew you. I grew curious, and wanted to meet him.
Before I could, a bunch of men, carrying a man who seemed paralyzed, approached the man with love in his eyes. "Messiah" one of the men said. Messiah? Jesus? It can't be. I came closer hiding next to his boat. There layed the man on a mat, unable to move. Was he really the Messiah? I watched him closely. He stared at the men before saying:
" why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? Which is easier: to say " your sins are forgiven or to say get up and walk?" But I want you to know son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"
I watched as everyone's eyes seemed to open for the first time, but I watched him closely.
"Get Up, take your mat, and go home" He said.
The man who was unable to move planted his feet on the ground. My whole body tingled in awe. He stood up and walked! He really is the Messiah!
My jaw dropped, I looked back at the Messiah, and he is looking at me, smiling. I froze as the Holy Spirit washed over my body. I didn't need to meet him, because I already knew him, and He knew me. Before I knew it all the people around me, started praising God.
Ten years later and the spirit lives in me, I give everyday to Jesus. And I hope one day I'll see him again, like the day my life was changed.
