Hallelujah, What a Savior

I stand, trembling and drenched in sweat. Tears flow freely down my face, turned upward at a light that shines ever so brightly.  

I momentarily forget the pain I’d been feeling, the deep hurt I had. I gaze, unknowingly into His eyes, full and complete.  

Anything I could ever hope for is right in front of me. I am shaking uncontrollably now not out of fear, but in awe. 

My tear-stained cheeks glow with my tear-filled eyes to match. The love I feel, the unexplainable peace that encompasses me now, is never-ending. 

And then it happens, He calls me by name. Everything freezes as I fall to my knees and cry the softest cry “Yes Lord.” 

“Well done My good and faithful servant.” I am now laid out, head in my hands, sobbing.  

I feel a hand on my face, and I stop trembling. I am in complete peace now, my whole being is aglow like the afternoon sun reflecting off the lake at sunset.  

I feel warmth as it radiates off of Him. He lifts my face and slowly my eyes meet His.   

He says, “welcome home My child.” Like a child embracing her father, I throw myself into His arms, allowing my entire being to melt away.  

I stayed in His embrace for only a few short minutes, though it seemed like time had stopped.  

All I remember thinking was “hallelujah, what a Savior.”
