| He Touched Me! |

What would you do if you came face-to-face with Jesus?
It happened to me on Cana Island in Door County, Wisconsin, a spiritual place, for every one who has been there has felt the power of the Lord's presence.
It was an incredible experience; one that I sometimes can't believe yet I know happened and was verified by the presence of my husband. Andre and I were sitting on the rocky beach, huge boulders, watching the water lap against the shore when I was suddenly in two places at once. I was sitting holding hands with my husband...and I was kneeling at the feet of Jesus.
I remember watching the incoming waves wash right through his sandals yet his robe moved with the waves. His words ..."You are a child of God. Jesus loves you. You are mine." Then he raised his hand and water freely flowed from it over my head and dripped off my nose. He pointed his finger to the sky and the man who abused me appeared, as did a boiling water sprout that rose up out of the lake. He tossed the man into the water inferno and they both disappeared. The water was calm again, not even a ripple. Jesus said again, "God loves you. Really loves you." Then Jesus took my hand, raised it to his lips and kissed it. Then I was just there, in the water alone, yet I was sitting on the rocks. I could hear Andre saying ..."what do you see?" ..."what do you see?" I looked at my loving husband and released my hand from his. He said his hand felt like it was on fire, when I was wherever I was. And his hand was red ... red and hot to the touch. I couldn't explain to him the vision, but a few hours later as I showered in our favorite Bed & Breakfast ... the water of the shower hit me at the same point as the water that flowed from Jesus' hand. At that point I shared my experience with Andre, and he believed me...saying he had spoken to the caretaker of the island and discovered that many who came were blessed with the presence of the Lord.
And like many others who have experienced meeting Jesus in such a way, no one including me, has seen his face.
He Touched Me1. Shackled by a heavy burden,
'neath a load of guilt and shame;
Then the hand of Jesus touched me,
And now I am no longer the same.
Chorus:
He touched me, O, He touched me,
And O, the joy that floods my soul.
Something happened, and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole.
2. Since I met this blessed Savior,
Since He cleansed and made me whole;
I will never cease to praise Him,
I'll shout it while eternity rolls.
Chorus:
He touched me, O, He touched me,
And O, the joy that floods my soul.
Something happened, and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole.
