the video seemed like nothing she had ever seen or heard of before! The individual in the video talked about an incredible love that no one could ever give on this earth. The individual said following Jesus was not just about a set of rules but rather a relationship where there was a 2 way communication. Jesse felt a burning desire to know this love, to have this relationship. Throwing her phone down, Jesse knelt down beside her bed and prayed " Dear Jesus I don't really know you...or if you even exist, but if you do will you give me some of that love! I feel so alone in this world, I have friends but no one knows me! Do you know me? Please show me in some way! Amen.". The evening rolled on and it felt like nothing had really changed. Jesse went to bed as usual, her heart ,as usual ,smothered in anxiety. As she drifted off to sleep Jesse had a dream of a man in white reaching down and holding her, he seemed to breath into her and she felt something come alive within her! Jesse woke up, but that feeling of love, life and peace from the dream still remained. She had never felt so at peace and so known in her life! It was at that moment Jesse knew with her whole being, Jesus was real!
