Redemption lies within everyone's grasp, for God can awaken even the coldest and most hardened hearts to His love.

In the Hollywood of the last two decades, few hearts remained colder and more hardened against God than that of celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who developed a reputation for tearing people down without remorse.

Now, following a recent hospital stay and near-death experience, during which, he said, "God presented himself to me," Hilton has recorded a series of YouTube videos professing repentance, expressing gratitude to God for saving him, and sharing the Bible with viewers.

Indeed, God's revelation of Himself to Hilton has effected one of the most miraculous transformations in memory.

"This is the most important video that I've ever shared," Hilton said in a video posted to YouTube on March 23. "My stupidity landed me in the hospital for 21 days. And it was the worst and best thing that's ever happened to me."

The celebrity blogger then promised to begin and end on a positive note before describing his horrific health scare.

"One of the most special things about this experience," he said moments later, "is that God presented Himself to me. It was not a feeling. God presented Himself to me."

One could sense the earnestness in Hilton's voice as he recounted the experience.

"And I grew up Catholic," he added. "I was baptized, had my Communion, confirmed, went to Jesuit school for seven years, but I was never a believer until now. God presented himself to me and then did something, something that I could only call miraculous. And I was very lucid. It was real."

As he spoke those words, Hilton's voice cracked. Then, he began to cry.
