Jesus, My Savior

by Belinda Bland

Do you believe in God? Have Jesus ever did a miracle in your life? Let me share a story about what I experienced on Wednesday, January 29, 2025. It was a nice, clear, sunny winter day. I was driving home from the music school where I take piano and voice lessons. It was about 4:30 p.m. There was a car in the front of me with a blinking light on the top and there was a tractor trailer behind me in the distance.

As I was driving, I noticed this big sun to the left of me in the sky. It was strange because it was kind of close to me. I kept driving at 60 miles an hour hoping that I could pass this sun and leave it behind me. However, this did not happen. From out of nowhere the sun covered or envelope me. I was blindsided by the sunlight. All I could see was the big yellow sun. I looked down at the road to see the guidelines but I couldn’t see anything. I put the car visor down but that didn’t help.

I didn’t want to stop my car because I didn’t want to run into the car in front of me. I also didn’t want the tractor trailer to run into me. It was a fearful moment. So I cut my speed to 45 miles an hour. I turned the steering wheel trying to keep my car in its lane. My car ran off the road to the right. I thought I had a tree or something because I heard a rumbling noise under my car. I was driving a scarlet red four door 2022 Nissan Altima. I quickly turned the steering wheel to the left to get back on the road. but I didn’t want to go into the oncoming traffic lane. I kept driving and I started to pray.

I began calling on Jesus to help me. I kept calling Jesus’s name. “Please help me Jesus,” I said. “I need you. Holy Spirit please help me. I kept calling on the name of Jesus. Then the sun began to subside. I could clearly see the road again. I thank God for helping me. He saved my life. I thought about pulling to the side of the road and letting the tractor trailer pass but I changed my mind because I was driving on a back pavement road and there was much space to pull on the side. I continued to drive. I noticed the car in front of me with the blinking light on the top made a left turn. The tractor trailer behind me was gone. I didn’t see it anymore. I felt a relieve came over me.

As a believer of God, I knew that if I called on the name God and say His name Jesus, and called on His Holy Spirit, I knew He would help me and He did. Jesus pulled me out of a scary and threatening situation.

This reminded me of Saul in the Bible Acts 9:3-6 “(3) As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. (4) He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” (5) “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. (6) “Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do.” At that moment he became a believer of God. He started helping the believers. His name was changed to Paul. He wrote many books of the Bible. However, unlike Saul, I was already a believer.

I believe in the Godhead. Colossians 2:9 ”For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of·the Godhead bodily.” I believe in 1 John 5:7 ”For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” Matthew 28:19 “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Ephesians 4:6 “One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in all.” When I talk about one, I talk about the other two as well. When I pray to one, I pray to all of them because they are the same according to the Bible. When I do this, I see my blessings.

I believed the Lord, God let me live so that I could tell others about Him.
