After my Near Death Experience, I found it very hard to live I this world. I didn’t know how to integrate having been in Heaven and sitting in the presence of God and then being sent back. I found the world to be cruel and harsh, at least my world was. So, I spent a lot of time in prayer. This story is about one of those days.
It was a warm sunny spring day I had taken the dogs outside and was sitting out in the back yard just enjoying the soft spring breeze against my skin. It was another one of those days when God moved his hand and pushed the veil aside and for just a few moments I could once again have a glimpse of Heaven. Not only that, Jesus had come to visit me. He was smiling that beautiful smile He has. He was standing by the fence, over by the flower garden, and the sun shone down on him as He began to speak to me. He held in his hand a fully open, soft pink rose. He held it out to me as he said these words “This life is a journey that all must take. Yes, you are hearing me now. You are seeing me now. Please don’t question yourself so much. These messages that you are being given are true and valid. You have the answers, and you do know the truth. The answers have always been inside your heart.
Stand at your gate and take the rose, my precious Dove. It’s time for you to fly. Today is a new and wondrous beginning. You were like a caterpillar all wrapped up tight inside a cocoon but you are now emerging out as a beautiful butterfly. I love you and will always love you. You will never walk alone. I walk right there beside you. So hold your head up high and always spread your joy and love. Listen, quiet your heart and be at peace for I am always with you. If you don’t hear me talking, it’s because you are not listening. You have the courage and the strength to do all that your heart desires and All that My Father has called you to do. It has been shouted from the highest mountains and heard in the lowest valleys. Its whisper has been heard throughout all human experience. So you must trust that it is true. Trust and believe, with all of your being that LOVE is the answer. It is Agape Love, Pure, unconditional love that is the answer. Believe in and expect miracles, for they will happen. When you quiet your mind and spirit, answers will come. My Father knows you. He knows that when you go into nature you will find rest. Nature is where you will become one with all that is, all that was, and all that will ever be. Know that in this place you will find your greatest peace and joy. You will never walk alone. Not ever, and all those who went before you, are all around you loving you and supporting you in your walk on this earthly plane. Open your heart and don’t be afraid. Just cast all your fears aside and accept your new life. Just be at peace. Remember this; I am in you and all around you. Turn wood and you will find me. Lift a stone, I am there. Like the sun warms your skin, I will touch you, and as the rain washes you, I will also. Without you, I am nothing. With you, I am eternity.”
