The Story
Dr. Ron Smotherman was stabbed 13 times by a friend during a psychotic episode. During the attack, he experienced a near-death experience. He felt himself leave his body and saw a beautiful hallway of light. Then, he encountered a powerful light representing God, filled with love and joy. God asked him if he wanted to come now or later. Dr. Smotherman chose to return to his life, thinking of his young son. After the experience, he felt a deep sense of love and forgiveness, even for his attacker. This NDE transformed his view of God and life, giving him a new understanding of love and purpose.
