My Spiritual Eyeglasses Moment

An Epiphany

There was that moment in time

When I knew Him, perfectly.

My mind did not analyze and logic never entered the equation,

Yet there was an equal sign, a balance, a solution.

The universe as I knew it changed perceptibly at that moment.

It was a capitalized and singularly unique moment.

Quietly talking in prayer and sharing hearts,

He whispered in my ear.

His voice walked into my soul and touched a switch.

The light changed; it became crystal clear.

It was the kind of clearness that your reading glasses give

after a good wipe with a soft cloth and a quiet huff.

Then you put them on after struggling to see, then remember,

"Oh, yes, ...my glasses."

It was that kind of remembering, that clear moment,

that looked into eternity.

I knew who I was, that I was loved and that He

would never give up on me.

His strength empowered me to become His disciple.

I will always remember Him.

I knew Him fully in that moment, forever.
