Heaven's Castle

Eyes closed.

Total darkness before me.

I try to block out distractions.

"God, tell me something."

Two doors. 

I reach out to open them.

Light explodes from within.

"Step into the beauty I have for you."

Castle balcony.

A huge crowd before me.

The feeling He has toward me is delight

As He presents me to His people. 

Green dress.

That's what I'm wearing.

An emerald princess gown.

I've always wanted to be royalty!

I turn.

There He stands, beaming.

I squeeze Him tight

As He graces my cheek with a kiss.

Majestic corridor. 

A ceiling as high as the sky. 

Pillars of gold, silver and bronze.

Marble floors pass beneath my feet.

Shining armor.

Finally! It's my long awaited knight!

Down on one knee holding a rose for me,

But beautiful light hides his face. 

Banquet table.

God, my knight and I,

Feasting on the best food.

The three of us, great friends. 

Scary dragon.

Evil rears it's ugly head.

I'm a damsel in distress,

But my knight comes to my rescue.

I smile.

Happiness surrounds me.

A beautiful princess with a prince to match.

What more could I need?

But wait.

I realize something.

The knight wasn't my husband,

But instead it was Jesus!

Yes, Jesus!

He loves me, and wants my whole heart.

His Father enjoys our company.

And Jesus conquered death's sting.  

In love.

I am so in love.

These images touched my heart,

To know I am cherished by the King of Kings.

You too.

Take these pictures,

And put yourself in them.

You too can be royalty in Heaven's castle.
