How did you meet God?

When I was six years old, I dreamed I was talking to Jesus on a sandy cliff. He told me he had to go talk to others. I woke up, afraid, because I knew "My Spirit shall not always strive with man." I didn't want him to leave me alone. I saw a picture in my head of Jesus dying on the cross, and I knew that he died to take away my sins. And I knew that I was saved, born again, redeemed forever.
