My trust unto God

I had always known there was a greater power than life itself, I always knew Jesus Christ was and is real, I also knew God Himself truly is alive, but I always doubted that God and Jesus Christ had been hearing my prayers.

I must have been 13 or 14 years old when I first had a true experience with Jesus Christ, my mother was on the verge of death, doctors had said if her test results were to come back positive for cancer then she would more than likely die. Now I couldn’t live a life without having my mother in it, I couldn’t picture not having my best-friend by my side, so this led me to grow anger towards Jesus. I grew angry shouting at God later on that very night I had received the news of what the doctors had said, I yelled at God saying “Father why have you done this to my family?! Father why have you done this to my mother who has followed You for so long?! Father how can you punish a child of Yours?! Father punish me! Punish me and give me what you will bring upon my mom! Do not take my mother away from my siblings, please I beg you take me away instead of her!” I cried till I had no more tears that night, I eventually passed out from being so tired and exhausted. Now, this is where God answered my prayers. I was woken up by Jesus being at my bedside, saying “My son wake up, my son it is Me” I woke up to Jesus’ voice knowing it was Him but never once hearing His voice before, I was in shock asking “How? How is this real? Am I dreaming?” and Jesus answered “My son it is me, do you trust me?” I answered “I do Jesus, I do” Jesus then preceded to stretch out his hand and I took it, Jesus had led me to a very dark tunnel to which I was petrified I didn't want to walk into the darkness for I knew what it was, the darkness was the place known as “Hell” I looked at Jesus and began to cry I said “No Jesus, I don’t want to go to hell please I’m sorry forgive me for I have sinned Jesus” then Jesus said unto me “My son, do you trust me?” I said “I do Jesus, I do” Jesus then guided me through the darkness and led me to a very bright and beautiful, gorgeous place which I knew was Heaven. Jesus and I were in heaven and he had asked me to close my eyes for he had a surprise for me but yet again I was scared, I said “No Jesus I don’t want to close my eyes, what if I end up in hell?” He then said “My son, do you TRUST me?” I then said again “I do Jesus, I do.” So I closed my eyes then opened them when he told me to, when I opened my eyes Mary his mother was in front of me, she had blessed me and told me to trust her son and his father God. Later through my experience I begged Jesus to let me stay in heaven with him, but he denied my request and said “My son, it is not your time yet, your time will come and when it does you have a place reserved for you here in heaven with my father and I.” I cried and said “No Jesus i don’t want to go back to the wicked and evil world I belong here, I want to stay here please Jesus.” He said “My son do you TRUST me?” I said “I do” He then said “I will never abandon you, for I will be by your side in every step you take on earth, you will never be alone, for you are my fathers son, trust in me and I will never abandon you.” in a instant I woke up feeling cleansed of all the sins i had committed the night before, I took from that experience a lesson, a lesson that no matter what I went through God would always be there for me as long as I trusted unto Him.

Jesus showed me the beauty in his grace.

Now that I know to trust unto Jesus and God himself, I have found love for God in no matter the circumstance.

I know that if I were to die today, Jesus would right by my side leading me to Heaven.

As long as I trust unto God and accept Jesus as my savior eternal peace is waiting for me.
