I Saw The Light of God

The day of after my birthday, I could not shake what had just happened.  I knew I could easily chalk up the experience as something I had imagined and move on with life as a scientific person who only believed in the physical world, but I knew that was too easy. I could not deny the reality of what I had just seen and experienced. It was the most profound and beautiful thing I ever experienced in my life. I knew I needed to investigate it more, so I turned to Google and typed in, “I saw the light of god” to see if there were others like me.

Akiane Kramarik

One of the first things I found was the painting of Jesus by Akiane Kramarik called Prince of Peace. When I saw this painting, I knew immediately in my heart that it was the real Jesus, and this is how Jesus actually looked when He was on the Earth.​​ For the first time in my life, I found paintings and works of art that really touched my heart.

Hank Williams

​ I also found the song, "I Saw the Light" by Hank Williams. I watched it and began to cry.  Here were Christians who I might've judged for their ignorance, but singing about very The Light that I had just experienced.

Preeti Krishnan​

The next thing I found was the story of Preeti Krishnan, a Hindu woman, who had an encounter with Jesus as The Light from a Gideon’s Bible. I felt so jealous of her experience because she described feeling completely and utterly safe with Jesus. I wanted what she had, too. I knew I needed to give my life to Jesus, so that’s exactly what I did.
