EXPERIENCES OF A JESUS FREAK

11. The Gospel Goosebumps

As, I have mentioned before, though I did not do my exam well, I passed it, by God's Grace. I joined a medical college, near my home, fortunately. New college, New lecturers, New atmosphere and new friends, so was my college life, in the initial few days. Now I was at my home, one evening with my mobile phone. There came a call to my phone and was cut by few seconds. Then there popped up a message from the number who called me, saying it was an accidental call. And her name was awesome- Mercy! Before I could decide anything about this, I happened to see her profile picture, that had a beautiful verse on it! I was thrilled... And I just replied back to her, "Nice profile picture. I like Jesus very much". So there started our friendship. We started talking with each other well. But then, I did not know that she was the one used by God to reveal the core of the gospel to me. One fine evening, we both were sitting together in our bus. She asked me, 'Do you know how Jesus died?' I said, 'Yeah! He died on a cross. Somebody put Him there...' She smiled and spoke back, 'It was for Us'... And then stepped in that very important message, to my ears... After hearing, why Jesus died, I became grave silent. I was dumbstruck. I was moved. She, not knowing why I became silent, asked me, whether I was okay! Even I did not know that! The Gospel was doing something to my whole body! I waved her my hand, saying a bye and got to my home. I went into my home and sat on the bed. I took my dairies and letters to Jesus and I happened to see, whereby I have written, Lord do you love me!? And the answer was in the form of gospel, which she had said! It took me down my kneels.. I bursted out with whails of tears! The moment that I relaized Jesus died for me... I had goosebumps all over my body, accompanied by tears! I thanked Lord for using her in my life! Because such a blessed work she has done...! Blessed is the person that the Lord uses, to reveal the happiness of salvation and the glory of the Gospel in your life! What a gift, the Lord has given us!!! And the most stunning fact for me was, How did I love Him so much, without knowing the most important thing about Him! How did I spend lot of time with Him, and got struck in His love, without reading the important part of the Bible! Its really a miracle... I accepted Jesus Christ as my daddy, my love and my God, without knowing that it has to be done, for His sacrifice is worthier than my soul! This itself made me realize, He is the One true Father.. The creator of all beings! Should a baby be taught that, this is your mother? Should a baby, being a part of the mother, on coming out, be taught, that this was the place you were in before your birth? Should a baby, be taught to love it's mother? Not at all... The living heart beat of the baby, the blood flowing through its body and the aroma around it's mother, will tell the baby's soul that She is your mother, who gave birth to you. Now that's what has happened to me. He created me.. Put my bones together in my mother's womb. As I know my own mother, so did I know that He is my Lord! It's that simple! My DNA, My neurons, My blood, My spirit, My soul said me, Jesus is your father, before Mercy and Bible could tell me! Realizing all these things in one whole second! The best gift that God  gave me that day- The Gospel Goosebumps!!! And then, obviously, we became besties! And there's a flashback here too! Mercy, after entering the college, had prayed to Jesus, asking for a good spiritual friend. She placed her prayer to the Almighty with the most powerful symbol of love- Her tears! God took that into account! It was after this prayer, that very day, when that accidental missed call scenario took place! For us it was accidental, but now, being best friends by spirit, we knew its the planned symphony of the Lord! Our friendship grows thicker, as our spirituality goes deeper! In the name of Jesus Christ, we would be friends for ever! Amen!
