"My True Story"

This is a poem I wrote about an experience I had with Jesus. This was over 44 years ago, but my faith is strengthened when I remember it - especially in the trials. I remember, I was not looking, but my life changed overnight after this experience.
With all the chaos in this world and personal struggles as well, I have come to realize that the most important thing in my life is my relationship with God. This is infinite and so real.
As I get older, this verse echos in my mind,
"We do not lose heart. Even though our outward self is wasting away, our inward self is being renewed day by day." 2 Corinthians 4:16
As I was reflecting on that time remembering how real it was , I collected my thoughts and put them into this poem, and I felt led to share it. I know we all come from different traditions and beliefs, but I appreciate the respect shown on this platform and am grateful to share my story in a poem .

My true story.

I was not looking,

But he came to me.

He came to me and set me free from fear and depression and heard my confession and loves me unconditionally.

This is all so real,

So much more than I can feel or touch or what I can see.

This life is finite and he is my light on this path to eternity where he awaits at heaven's gate and will greet me face to face.

Beautiful, Rachel. I am often struck by how He is the good shepherd, He “left the 99” and came to find me when I wasn’t expecting it. “Therefore, we do not give up, though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day”. This scripture from 2 Corinthians 4:16 often keeps me going too. I’m very grateful for your friendship and all your sharing.
