I experienced God completely out of the blue when i was almost fourteen years old. I was not religious. I had been to a church maybe a half dozen times. I waanted nothing to do with any god until I had to in order to avoid hell (taught in my cuture). I an another girl were working side by side at farm labor. I was thinking of nothing except standing and resting my back for a few seconds when a refreshing breeze blew over me, then THROUGH me making me feel indescribably clean. Then I was aware of an invisible presence of great power, holiness, love and compassion confronting me. I saw no form, heard no voice, but ws completely aware of the Presence. I recognized "him" without knowing why. But my inner reaction was a delighted, "Oh! It is You. I trusted him completely. He told me I was in peril and showed me some "slide shows" in rapid succession; First an image of my"self" somewhat resembling a fetus with an odious, eating, spreading sore on one thigh. (Think Super Ebola) symbolizing my sinful spiritual orientation. He said it could be healed if I would choose a life path of love and peace. Next slide, a footpath through a wood with a ray of light from above shining on it before me. He said he would be with me on this path to guide me. The ray of light symbolized his presence. At the end of the path I would come to him.

Then I was enveloped in a oceanic golden light which was more than light but full of emotions of love, peace, HOME, spiritual joy. It was where I belonged.

During this communication which was Spirit to spirit communiction that I cannot express in human language, I was oblivious to my physical surroundings. Then suddenly I was back just as I had been but my face was drenched with tears of combined sorrow nd joy. I was so sorry for any unkind thing I'd ever said or done. I felt all people were infinitely precious and not to be harmed.

My work companion was in my direct line of sight and she also was weeping copiously. We both began a spiritual journey instantly.

In keeping with my culture, I joined a church the next year. It has sufficed for me.

What is God like? God IS. And he Loves us.
