Have you ever felt utterly alone in a crowded room? That's exactly what happened one night in 1980 when, surrounded by party-goers in my own home, I realized a devastating truth: once what I provided was gone, these people would leave. This moment of clarity became the backdrop for a life-changing spiritual encounter.
The voice cut through my emptiness with three simple words: "I love you." Something about it was unmistakable – Jesus Christ was speaking directly to my heart. While everyone around me wanted to take something, He wanted to give something. While my relationships were transactional, His love was transformational. This stark contrast illuminated the deception I had been living in – what I thought was freedom was actually bondage, what looked beautiful was ultimately destructive.
This personal testimony opens our eyes to a profound spiritual truth: there's a fundamental difference between pursuing relationships, substances, or experiences to fill our emptiness versus allowing Jesus to occupy the central place in our lives. When we make Him central – not ourselves, not others, not our careers – spiritual doors open that nothing else can unlock. The deepest human longing to be loved and to love can only be genuinely fulfilled through Christ, who demonstrated the ultimate expression of love by laying down His life. As the Holy Spirit continues working across nations, He's clearing away clouds of delusion to give us clearer glimpses of our magnificent Savior.
