Thank you for sharing this. I'm a nurse because God told me to go back to school when I was in my 40s. He provided for our family while I earned no money for 3 years. I do things for patients that would have horrified my former prissy self. I share my story more and more, because people love hearing about how good God is, and how He works.

Excellent piece, Adam. I recently went through something similar last November after I lost my two remaining grandparents in a span of five days. My grandfather’s passing hit me hard… but, I had a similar experience and not only did it reassure me, but it filled me with an overwhelming sense of belonging, right / wrong, and love. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this today. I needed to hear this, even though I know that the Holy Spirit is at work in this way all the time. One moment like this has the potential to change so much.

After you come to faith, it's interesting how you remember each time that God spoke to you in some way. Like the pieces of a puzzle coming together

Beautiful words. I had a life changing experience similar to this. Our losses are terrible but when we know our loved ones are fully embraced it is a great comfort.

How would describe your relationship to God now, Adam?

Thank you for sharing. I find it sad that sharing something like this is too rare, yet discussing the latest transhumanist talking point is acceptable. A belief in a Creator and a belief in the technological engineering of humanity are philosophies of how one views life. It's wonderful you were able to have a good relationship with your Great Aunt.

So happy for you that you’ve had this direct experience, and that you hold it dear. I have had a few similar encounters and that’s why, although intellectual arguments are interesting and helpful to me, I don’t pretend that there is an airtight proof of God. It’s an experience, a relationship.
