[QUOTE="Tempura, post: 73489307, member: 261878"] I had an experience once. I can't even call it a vision, even if I kind of saw things, but like an overflow of love and comfort and it left something in me, a bit of assurance is you will. I wanted to tell everyone how much I loved them, and there were no worries. I believe it was from God. Someone described something similar he experienced, and called it "dose of the Holy Spirit", if I recall it right. Later on I learned to pray when I was at rock bottom, and have been searching for God since and trying to depend on Christ. I was delivered from awful depression and alcoholism. What you had and experienced, take it as a blessing, even if you never experienced it again. We shouldn't run after feelings, because they come and go, but we can take some things with gratitude nevertheless. Not to say that more revelations can't or won't come, just that it's better to hold on to the source itself even when you don't feel that much. What you said about ego, you said it well. It's such a nuisance, isn't it? You wanted to pray for your father and yourself, your heart was in the right place, and that pesky thing got in the way. But the great thing about God is that if we allow, if we want to know Him, He will get rid of our egos and the barricades we build against Him, little by little. Said a prayer for you brother. Go with Christ, and may God bless you. [/QUOTE]
