I can see God in a particular way. More so it’s that he presents Himself to me. I would like to know if anyone has experienced something similar. My thought is some have but may not understand or want to accept what it is.
It began shortly after my confirmation. Growing up I was very slow in developing socially and had trouble with empathy and understanding those around me. After confirmation, I began to notice I could see into the hearts of many people. I could read their pain like a book. Even so far as to, on rare occasions, be able to tell what they’re thinking and the state of emotion they are in. One example is entering the elevator with someone and knowing as soon as I saw their eyes that they were on the edge of breaking down and cutting an old friend out of their lives due to recent abuse of their friendship. I’d never seen this girl before.
It goes deeper than the reading of the human heart, however. Ever since my confirmation, There are a few people every year who God makes me away of weeks or months in advance. I always understood that trying to connect with them on my own would ruin God’s perfect timing. Every time this happened, I could see the reflection of the Holy Spo=irit in their eyes. I could see their pain and suffering, past, present, and future. When I saw this, I knew it was God the way a mother knows their child is in danger. I did not have to ask, I knew, I could see. I also always knew to wait for His divine timing for our future meeting.
There was always something off, however. Every time I saw Him withing someone else’s eyes, it was like a punch in the face because I knew it was Him but not full and complete. He was in pain yearning for something within them.
But at once I understood the meaning of this when, one day after mass, He allowed me to see Jesus inside the eyes of a girl studying with me at my university. I saw that in her, right after receiving the Eucharist, He was full, complete, in a way I had never seen. I had seen the same thing, the same God inside of the people before, but I realized every single one of them had been protestant, and here I saw Him in His fullness after she had recev=ived the Eucharist.
Ever since then, within the past 9-10 months, He has presented Himself to me or let me see Him within 4 or five other people, all Catholic, all containing His fullness of presence.
I write this because I understand now that He has allowed me to see this not only to bring me back into the Church but to show me how vital a proper reverence for His true presence in the Eucharist is as I discern the priesthood. I also understand that what I have been graced to see is nothing compared to even many saints who walk the earth today. But it is still more than I could ask for and humbly accept as part of His definite purpose for me. And that, for whatever reason, He has seen it fit to grow my trust in Him by showing me how He knows everything, including when I will connect with whom in my life when He wants to do so.
But I would like to know, has anyone experienced or heard of anything similar?
