| El Greco - Ježiš, Spasiteľ sveta |
It was june 30th. I was looking for
something spiritual. I tried a lot of things, which I would call now
pseudospiritual. I was hungry. Hungry for truth. And though I did not know it,
I was hungry for God. I was attending a catholic high school, so I had a lot of
friends and classmates, that was christians. When we were on a school trip, one
girl from my class told me about their prayer group and about Holy Spirit. I
started to long for Holy Spirit. Few days later (it was on the end of June 2005)
I asked my best friend in class, who was and still is a very good christian,
this question:
„Should I go to confession,
if I want to receive Holy Spirit?“. „It
would be good,“ he said. So I went to confession and few days later I visited
meeting of that prayer group. I remember that very well. It was in one private
house and there were a lot of people – young and old and kids. Everybody was
praying. They were also praying in tongues, that was a bit strange to me at
first, but I was used to unusual things. Core of the story is this: The woman, who
led the prayer, asked us to open our hearts to Jesus. I was thinking:
„Jesus, I want to open my heart to you so
much, but I don´t know how to do it.“ I was almost desperate. I really wanted
to do it. I longed for Jesus. Maybe I did not know why. But I wanted to. And
that was the key.
Desire. Maybe was desire
the thing, that opened the door of my heart.
That night my life changed. I was
leaving that house with songs of worship and on the way to bus station I was
singing: „I do not fear, because You are
with me.“ I was as light as a feather.
My heart was filled. But it was
only beginning of the adventure. I found only the wardrobe to Narnia.
There was a lot of things, that had
to be found.
Two months later I was given a
beautiful gift – prayer group in one village near my residence.
But this is another story. Longer
story, but at least so beautiful as this one.
Let convert our hearts to Jesus!
