I remember one crisp Saturday morning in 2021. After my usual routine, I set my heart to seek the Lord through worship. I sang for hours, and then suddenly, a bright vision entered my mind—it felt like a memory I had never recalled before.

The Vision

I was carried back to when I was about five years old. Two scenes appeared: first, a hilly city, like San Francisco, and then the house of a woman from my childhood, who often said she remembered me, though I had no memory of her. We were inside her house for some type of gathering or party.

My mom took me to the park. I was on a swing while she watched from a bench. Then I felt a rush of wind—and I knew I was not alone. As my swing pushed forward, I felt a heavy presence of peace and love. It was God Himself, Incarnate, Jesus—His love enveloped me completely.

When the vision ended, I felt my Heavenly Father speaking to my heart, reassuring me that He has always been with me—even in the moments I did not perceive Him.

Confirmation

In the days after, I searched for the woman from my childhood. I remembered her face but not her name. I eventually found her on LinkedIn—living in San Francisco. It confirmed what I had felt: this was not just a vision, but a real memory, restored by God 27 years later.

Scripture & Reflection

James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
Jeremiah 33:3 promises, “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”

God showed me a memory I had never recalled in my life. Imagine if we took each day to seek Him—what hidden mysteries might He reveal to you?
