I had a very vivid dream last night. You know the kind. You wake up and for a fleeting moment you’re surprised it’s not actually real. In the dream, I had died and was on my knees in front of Jesus. I looked like me, but I felt very different, spiritual in fact. Although I could see it was Jesus, there was this spiritual presence about Him. Even knowing I had died, the overwhelming emotion I felt was compete calm. Other descriptive words that come to mind are serenity and tranquility. In Luke 23:43 (NLT) Jesus says, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
I’ve always thought of paradise as being a physical experience, something to behold, with some emotion involved. But through this dream, God has shown me that the paradise He’s referring to is not physical at all. It’s a spiritual experience that is all emotion. I hope and pray you are in some way inspired to pursue a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God. Only God can give you a spiritual and emotional paradise beyond human understanding.
