Heaven
4/1/11


I stand before You with hammer and nails in hand
Those are the first things that You remove from my possession
The regret that washes over me is replaced by a warm, steady stream of Your Blood
I look at my hands…they aren’t black with sin anymore
They are the purest white I’ve ever seen
You walk up to me and take my tattered rags that I wear for clothing
And you place in my hands a bright white cloak
I put it over my head and it feels so light….lighter than the clouds
You lead me to a room…where all my sins were kept
Every single one has a blatant description of what I had done that hurt you
Every single one has my name in BIG black letters on it
You walk up to one….You hold it in Your hand
And You remove from Your pocket a blood red eraser
You slowly erase my name from one….then another…then another….
until You have removed my name from all of them
You then take a pen…and dip it in blood red ink
And…to my utter dread and surprise…You begin to write Your Name on each one of my sins
I scream…I shout….I beg You not to declare that You have committed the sin that I had committed…
But You keep writing…..to my utter dismay and relief
I am washed…I am cleaned….I am proved innocent of all that I had done against You
After You finish re-writing names on all of my used-to-be sins
You take my hand and lead me toward a golden gate…that is studded with pearls
Angels loudly blow trumpets on each side of us
The gate opens wide….to a street made of gold
I stop….I pull my hand away from Yours…..I look at You….Am I really allowed in there?
You take my hand again….and You slowly lead me into the city of splendor
Heaven…I am free….I am clean…I am Your Child in Your Arms!
