Jesus Christ gave us his life. What have we given him? Sadly, not much. All He asks is that we love Him and our neighbors, but many of us have refused to even give him that much.

AN ACTUAL GLIMPSE OF GOD!
Have you ever longed for or wondered about God to the point where you asked God if you could just have a glimpse of God? Well, I did - and it changed my life forever. Following is a true and accurate account of what actually happened to me. One one ordinary afternoon in December of 2001, I was sitting in my bedroom reading a good book in the middle of the afternoon when I just felt, as I have so many times in the past, a deep love and longing for God and all that He is. It was then that I asked God if I could have a glimpse of Him. When I asked God this, I told God that I was not in any way testing Him, but that I just wanted to be and feel closer to Him.
I then closed my eyes, not expecting anything. Even though I did not have any expectations as to what response, if any, God was going to give me, I nonetheless waited immediately for God's answer to my question. Within a matter of a couple of minutes, I could feel my entire body slowly relax, and I felt at peace. I had never meditated before, so I thought to myself that this is what it must feel like. My eyes were closed the whole time, but yet I saw quick flickers of light. I wanted to open my eyes at one point, but when I started to get the urge to open my eyes, I began to feel even more peaceful, until it got to the point where I did not feel my body anymore. It was at this point that I could feel my spiritual self being ever so gently lifted or pulled out of my physical body into another realm unfamiliar to me.
Then, suddenly and without warning, I experienced what can only be described in words as an explosion of love that saturated my entire being. The love I felt and experienced was indescribable and unlike anything I had ever felt or experienced - God had taken hold of me, of my spiritual being, and He exploded His love into me. Then, when God's initial "explosion of love" started to dissipate, I could actually hear my own voice coming from my spiritual being cry out to God, "I love you! I love you!" It was right after I heard myself say these words to God that I was then gently and slowly brought back into my physical body. I then opened my eyes and I realized I was still holding the book in my hands that I had been reading before this had all happened. I felt completely exhilarated and also somewhat dazed at the same time at what had just happened to me.
Instantly, I realized that my entire face, neck, and the top part of my shirt were soaked in tears. To my amazement, I had apparently been crying tears of utter joy the whole time my spiritual being was outside my body with God. I couldn't figure out how this could be possible. Additionally, even more interesting, when I looked at my right hand where I had a healed wound on it that I got when I accidentally cut myself a couple of weeks ago with a knife, I saw that there was fresh blood pouring out of it. All I could do was just sit there in utter amazement at what had happened.
I then thanked God for loving me and counting me worthy of His love. At the same time, I thought to myself that no one would ever believe me if I told them that I had an actual glimpse of God. Who could I tell that would believe such a thing? As it turned out, I was not able to tell anyone about my experience for at least a couple of months afterwards. I told my mother, a couple of my friends, and my husband about it. I remember feeling completely relieved when I saw that they believed me, not because I was in any way bragging or putting myself up on a pedestal, but because I wanted them to know the good news that God is right here with us - all we have to do is talk to Him and wait for Him to answer us. God is not just far away from us in Heaven just looking down on us - God is here with us.
However, there was one person I told that did not take this good news very well - the priest at my church. At the age of 32 years old in the summer of 2001, I had just made my first Holy Communion and penance with the help of the priest at my local church, who had instructed me and made it possible for me to receive these sacraments. I was very grateful for his help in bringing me closer to God. So, naturally, I felt it was proper and monumentally important to tell the priest what had happened to me. I met with him about three months or so after I had my experience with God at the church rectory. I sat with the priest and described to him what had happened, and when I looked up at him when I was finished I could see that he had a disturbed look on his face. In so many words, he explained to me that I am not supposed to ask such things of God, but that I am supposed to just live by blind faith. He also told me that I have to concentrate on what is going on here (meaning the physical realm, as opposed to the spiritual realm). Needless to say, I left my meeting with the priest feeling confused. I could not understand how the church can spend centuries calling people to God, only to tell someone that it's wrong when we finally find and experience God.
Needless to say, I followed my heart and I continued to talk to and ask God questions thereafter, and I waited for God's responses. Much to my complete joy and amazement, God continued to respond to me and talk to me. God talks to me by impressing His words into my mind and by showing me pictures, or visions, of what it is He is telling me. The words God impresses upon me are communicated to me through God's soft but distinct inauditory voice, which words I can best hear when I am alone where it is very quiet. Please note that there is a fine distinction here. A person may think about things on their own - these are the person's own thoughts. However, when God talks to you, you are not doing the thinking - you are simply receiving and listening - whether it be in the form of words or images, or both. God impresses these words or images into you in such a way that it seems almost too easy because there is virtually no concentration involved on your part - you just wait and listen (and/or see) God's answers. God may also communicate to us through our conscience or feelings. And, you need not have an actual glimpse of God in order to hear and/or see what God is telling you.
Why am I telling you about this whole experience, other than to proclaim what others may term as unbelievable - having a glimpse of God? Because everyone needs to know that when you pray to God, that is only the half of it. You should also wait and listen for God's answer. I actually wrote an entire book, which I entitled Lessons of Love: Straight From God to You, outlining all of the answers that God gave to me from my communications with Him. I asked God questions, and I waited for His answers, which He immediately gave to me and which I then transcribed into my book.I numbered each of the answers God gave to me and I labeled them as "lessons". I came to understand that the answers God was giving me were His universal truths, which are meant for people of all ages all over the world to read, and not just for me. Most of the time, I did not ask God any specific questions, but I just mostly asked God to "please give me a lesson". In my book, God's lessons purposely begin as simple and elementary, and as God's lessons progress along, God's lessons actually begin to build upon one another. They are God's building blocks of wisdom.
God wants us to listen to Him. After all, how would you feel if someone talked to you and then turned and walked away without ever waiting to hear what your response was? After reading these messages from God, know that you can talk to God and ask Him questions at any time. Like your 24 hour minute market, God is available all of the time, 24 hours a day. And when you read God's "lessons", you will come to know that God is closer to us then you could have ever imagined - that is because God is within all of us. This is as close of a companion as you can ever get!
On a more serious note, as I was writing down God's answers or messages to us, I realized how serious they are. God is actually presenting these "lessons" to us as something that we can choose to follow or not follow - it is up to us to follow them or ignore them. If we choose to follow them, we can be assured we are securing peace and love among our race. However, if we choose not to follow them, we are assuring the continuance of violence and war in our world, and possibly the self-destruction of life as we know it. For God had me understand throughout these "lessons" that love is the better alternative to choose in whatever we do - love is the foundation of all of God's truths. Just as cement holds the bricks together in a wall to keep them from tumbling down, our love for one another is the glue that holds our species together. As I pray for world peace and love and unity among the whole human race, I pray that all of you will choose love so that there may be finally an end to violence and war in our world.
