Salvation
When Langston was twelve years old, he was saved. His aunt assumed this meant Langston had seen Jesus, but for Langston himself it was a bit different.
My aunt told me that when you were saved you saw a light, and something happened to you inside! And Jesus came into your life! And God was with you from then on! She said you could see and hear and feel Jesus in your soul. I believed her. I had heard a great many old people say the same thing and it seemed to me they ought to know. So I sat there calmly in the hot, crowded church, waiting for Jesus to come to me.
The whole essay can be found here, and I recommend it greatly.
