As I stood in the garden, I was captivated by the stunning brilliance of the flowers, trees, and grass. The reds were redder, the pinks more vivid, and the yellows brighter than any colors I had ever witnessed on earth. The air was sweetly fragrant, pure, and clear. The sky was a breathtaking blue, reminiscent of a perfect summer day. Although it seemed like midday, I couldn’t see the sun. Instead, there was a bright orb that resembled the sun, yet this beautiful white glowing light seemed to radiate from every direction. Deep within my soul, I knew this light emanated from the heart of God. I was utterly awestruck by the incredible beauty, intricacy, and detail of everything around me. Birds sang in the trees, and a stream sparkled like diamonds as it flowed over the rocks. I heard music more beautiful than anything I had ever experienced. I realized that everything in heaven had its own unique pitch and sound. The trees had a sound, and even the leaves had their own distinct vibration. The grass, rocks, and water each contributed their own sound. Together, these individual sounds formed the most magnificent symphony ever created. But this was no ordinary symphony—it was all of Heaven singing praises to God. Beauty flowed from every leaf, rock, blade of grass, and bird. In that moment, I felt a peace and joy beyond all comprehension.
