(Who He Says I am Poem Series)

Encounter

I will never forget

The moment We met

The moment You set Your eyes on me

I couldn’t look away

How could I?

Your eyes pierced through the darkness

It brought me closer

Closer to You

And into Your Light

Not realizing what I was encountering

Can this be real

Are you really that good?

Oh yes you are and more

But before I could say anything

You embraced me

Oh the love

The peace

The warmth of Your heart

It comforted me

At my deepest despair

You found me

All I could speak were tears

You held me and told me I would be okay

You spoke me into existence

You told me my identity

The only words of my mouth were Father forgive me

I need You

And I want You

So I gave You my life

Because You gave me Yours

You paid it all on the Cross for my sins

Yet you did it willfully

And with Joy

So my heart is filled with Joy

The Joy of the Lord

How can this be?

That You chose me

In that moment my life was changed forever

It would never be the same

From the One who is above every other name

From just one Encounter of Jesus
