To Heaven and Back (Chapter Three)

Chapter Three

She found herself back in the house. Everything was quiet. Outside, people were still singing but she felt a sense of silence returning to her soul. She felt God is near.

“What is it my child?” Jesus asked, standing quietly beside her, looking at her with His calm peaceful eyes.

“How did I get here Jesus? I killed myself. I committed a sin. I should have gone to Hell. I do not deserve this.” She exclaimed.

“You deserved everything, Child. You are One with me. You followed me. You gave your life to me. And so, I am Yours, always Yours. Do you think that God is so unforgiving? If He can forgive you of all your sins, why can’t He forgive you for killing yourself?”

She sat down and sobbed.

“I am sorry Jesus. I am sorry.”

She found herself enveloped in a bear hug as Jesus opened his arms to her. She cried as His love came so unconditionally to her. She cried as her heart healed in His presence. She cried as all the pains of the world left her. She cried as Jesus showed her all there is in the world is LOVE.

“Hush my child.” Jesus spoke. “Remember who you are in Christ. Do not despair, for God does not forsake you, ever. Trust unto His endless love. Seek His face and He will heal you.”

A cloud of peace came upon her. Her tears dried. She nodded. Breathing deeply, she felt the love that God gave to all. She breathed His love, His joy, His mercy, His grace, His forgiveness. She breathed all.

“Thank you Lord. Thank you for showing me” She whispered.

“Go, My child. Go back and change the world one at a time. Share your story. Share your love. Love all, and enjoy all. Nothing matter if it is transient. Only the kingdom of God matters. Share your life with others like you. Find strength in Me.”

She looked as Jesus walked away. He turned back, gave her a smile and was gone. But she knew He is still with her, right there, in the Spirit. She saw the bright light again, and this time, she had no fear. She knew what she had to do. She walked into the light and was gone.
