An encounter: The word encounter can be defined as an experience. One may ask, "Do you have an encounter with God?" This is a question that the individual has to answer. I can vouch for myself and say that I have an encounter with God because He has taken me out of the pit of misery and suffering and presented forth a brand new life that promises hope and opportunities for a brighter future. For that reason, I will never forget where He has taken me from and thus I say; I have an encounter with him (God).
There was a dark time in my life, when I thought I was unloved, I felt my being born was a mistake. My life was so worthless and with no hope of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I use to cry out for some sort of love or affection but to no avail. I had decided to end this my senseless life, but the one above (God) never let any harm to come to me. He protected me from death.
When my eyes were opened, I saw the reason why God brought me to this earth; He showed me his unconditional love from that experience I saw that I had an encounter with God. God had really changed my life, my life, my thoughts, vision and every thing other aspect to my inner being. An encounter starts in the heart, and for me to take a decision starts from with in. You ask yourself, " How?", if you decide to go and look for a job, you first contemplate it in your mind and once you have taken that decision to go out and get it, nothing can stand in your way. That happens because when you plan something in your mind and later put this plan in your heart, you will achieve what you set out to do.
The bible says in the book of Proverbs 4:23 "Guard your heart for it is the well spring of life", The heart is where everything is kept. Dear friend whatever you decide with your mind be careful that it does not corrupt your heart. Have an encounter with God and you will see the great reward in doing so.
