DERRICK: And immediately, Sid, the first thing I noticed, it didn’t come out of my mouth, it came out of my heart and my head. And when I called out to Him, He turned around and He reached out His right hand to me. And I reached His hand out and I said, “Thank you.” And He looked at me and He said, “I love you.” And I let go of His hand and He’s about to turn around, as if he’s going to go through the door.

DERRICK: And I started almost getting anxious because I didn’t want Him to leave. And I was completely cognizant, I thought it was as physical as what me and you are talking right here. But I didn’t know if I was in my body or outside of my body, just like Paul says. And so literally, I get anxious and I say, “Jesus, don’t leave!” Again from my heart and from my head. And I actually sit up to grab His arm.

DERRICK: And I grab His arm and I feel a body, I feel muscle tonation. And He turns around and He kind of smiles. And He says, “I love you,” a second time, more affirming, more convicting. And then he says, “I’ll be back.” And he proceeds to leave. And Sid, another thing that I got out of the encounter was the humility of Jesus. Because you know, when me and you are ready to leave, we’re like ready to leave. And if somebody grabs us, we’re going to be like, “Yo, let go of me.”

DERRICK: But He has so much understanding and compassion and humility. And when I came out, I eventually went to the scripture that said, “Take my yoke upon you and learn of Me for I’m meek and lowly at heart.” I felt the meekness of Jesus. I felt the loneliness. And when He proceeded to walk through the door, I appeared back in my bed. I never walked to it.
