Seeing Heaven in a dream

My Time In Heaven,hope you enjoy

As I was saying my prayers before I got in bed,I asked God to let me see Heaven in my dreams.I had asked many times before with no results,I sure was not prepared for what was to come.As I laid down and drifted into a dream world,I felt my body feel lighten,all my aches and pains were gone as I drifted toward a beautiful warm light.On my way I saw the infinite universe,it was an awe inspiring sight to say the least.I heard a voice say,this I created for you.It was then I realized,God was going to answer my prayer.The thought crossed my mind that maybe I had died in my sleep as everything was so real,to real to be a dream.I was so at peace,that if I had died I wanted to go on to the light.As I drew nearer to the light I started to see figures in the light and as I got closer,I recognized them to be my family that had went on before me.The first to greet me was my wife that had died of Cancer in 2007.She was young and beautiful as she was when I met her.I realized that I to was young once again.

I met, my Mother and Father,Aunts and Uncles and many I had never known existed as they were from the family from many generations removed,It didnt matter we all had a glorious reunion.My wife then told me it was time for me to move on,I had no idea what she was talking about,but she promised we would be together again soon.Then,as if by magic,I was in a room full of Angels.They all
were tall,glowing in a beautiful light,so majestic the site.I was taken by the hand by one of the Angels and my whole life appeared before me,was this the Book Of Life the Bible spoke about?To be honest,I didn't like most of what I saw.I saw sins I willfully committed,people
I had lied to and hurt and done wrong.People I should have helped and didn't,so many
things that shamed me.There were times I did the right thing,but the bad far outweighed the good.The whole time the Angel was
looking in my eyes as if he could see my soul as if he knew me.I broke down and wept like a child realizing that what God had taught I did not do.

I was then shown Heaven and its Glory,I was wondering why I was being shown,my life was not one that would deserve being in such a Holy place.Streets of clear gold,massive buildings with precious stones set in glistening in the light,green fields,pure waters,people every where singing and rejoicing and giving praise to God.It was a place of beauty and majesty that a human brain could in no way comprehend.I looked down the road and saw a building that would dwarf all the others,I asked the Angel what it was and was told it was the Temple of God.I could see Priests going in and out singing praises to God,all in pure white robes and a golden crown on their head.Angels with gossemer wings flew to and fro delivering Blessings to others from Jesus.I looked up and saw no sun,no moon,yet the entire land was bathed in beautiful light,I remembered
what the Bible had said and knew this light was the Glory of God.I told the Angel I had so many questions to ask and I wanted to enter the Temple,he said it is not time.

To think I was so close to seeing God and Jesus was so exciting to me.But,in the back of my thoughts realizing all the bad I had done
was not hidden,I knew I was not worthy.I was all to aware of the alternative to Heaven,I did not want to spend eternity in pain and suffering
and again I wept.I began to think that maybe everyone was shown Heaven and where they could have
been if only they believed and asked forgiveness.The Angel kept watching me and looking in my eyes.I told the Angel
that I was so sorry for the wrong I had done and in my later years I had accepted Christ and tried to live a life worth of going to Heaven.

I was so distraught thinking it was probably to little to late and my fate had been decided,and I wanted so much to stay.From out of nowhere I was enveloped in a warm beautiful light.It felt like someones arms were wrapped around me,the feeling of peace and joy was overwhelming to me.I looked up and I saw the face of Jesus.He said,My Child all fall short of the Glory of God,I gave my life for you so you could be saved,the day I died my Father cast your sins in the lake of forgetfulness,never to be remembered.I know you have lived a good life in years past
and that you love me and my Father.That is all I ask of any.I said I do love you Lord can I stay with you?

And once again I was with my wife,never to hear an answer to my question.She told me it was not yet my time,but she would be here the day we could spend eternity together.She told me I had only seen a tiny portion of the true majesty and splendor that Heaven was.I asked her
when it would be my time,she kissed me and said I Love You still,but the time is known only to God.The next thing I remember I was in my bed.
A journey that seemed to last for days took only hours.It was so real and yet was it a dream I had prayed to receive?I got out
of bed and looked in the mirror and saw the same old face looking back at me,my aches and pains were still a part of this earthly life.

As the days past I thought of the dream often trying to find a meaning for what I had seen.In my heart though I knew I has seen the next part of my journey.I had a feeling of peace and calm I did not feel before.My only thoughts on my journey are as the Bible said
the path to Heaven is narrow.To walk this path you need only to repent and ask forgiveness for your sins.Your past is not hidden to God he knows all you have done.We are by nature sinners.Try to live a God like life,Bless and help others with a joyful heart.Do not
worship worldly THINGS,lay your treasures up in Heaven not Earth.God does not want any of his children to suffer the Lake Of Fire for eternity
but he did give us freewill,so eternity is your choice.Just being a good God Fearing person will surely help determine your path
to Heaven.Your sin will be forgiven,if you only ask.I only wish I could put in words the joy I felt in Heaven,I cant but it is there for us all.

I sat the other day and opened my Bible and it opened to John3:16.I could hear a faint sound of wings rustling and it occurred to me
the Angel that knew me and led my path through Heaven was my Guardian Angel,he was still with me.
So was it really a dream?
