THAT MOMENT


I am thinking of that moment when I come to myself and realize that I am in eternity.  Time is no more for me.  I have made it to the other side.  I am very much alive and alert to my surroundings.  I am thinking, knowing and loving.  
I am seeing beauty as I’ve never seen it before -fresh, pure and radiant.  Colors, textures, sounds and fragrances -all more complete, more true than I ever thought possible.  
Faces that I know and love are smiling at me in welcome.  Arms embrace me.  Memories envelope me.  Applause cascades around me.  I am laughing in sweet relief.  
Suddenly He is there with me.  Jesus.  My Savior.  My Friend.  I am crushed to His chest, sobbing.  Breathing in His holiness.  Bathed in His forgiveness.  I am cherished.
I am longing to reassure you that all is well.  Don’t sorrow for me, dear one.  I have seen His face.  Looking ahead, I can tell you it was worth it all.  The heartaches, trials and injustices in no way compare to being in that moment.
