I MET JESUS

I don't know how He did it but suddenly I was there. There I was standing next to this enormous door that led to the Kingdom. I was feeling like a princess as I was so sophistically invited in. My name was being noted in the Book Of Life as I am escorted into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Enchanted by the blue fog, the giggling and chatter echoing throughout heaven, I felt as though I was in a fairytale. With the exception of here and there where I could only see a blue form of a person —I could only hear those around me.  

The playful lighthearted atmosphere full of sounds of happiness, made those I could hear sound like children. The chattering and giggling that echoed throughout heaven made me feel like I belonged. The happiness in the air was because of how Jesus rescued us from the disaster on the earth. I was so excited to be there and never wanted it to end. It indeed felt like a fairytale and I was a princess pretending to get ready for a ball.  

As we walked further, I noticed the dresses for the bride —they were beautiful! They were flowing as they hung from what seemed like the sky. They were extremely long and perfected. I could see the dress that was mine, unlike everything else it was white.

The excitement continues as we are on our way for the preparation of the wedding to marry Jesus. The excitement is Jesus, He is our Hero! We are all in love with Jesus!  Jesus is being worshiped and adored so beautifully as our voices echoed throughout heaven! It was intense, yet magical.  

It abruptly ended when I woke up in my bed. I was so disappointed, I wanted to stay there. Without hesitation, I ran to get my computer, jumped back in bed, and typed everything that just happened. I wanted to have every second. I laid back down because I thought it was a dream. I begged for more but nothing happened. I then got up anxious to get my coffee and talk with Jesus.

When I walked into my office, Jesus asked me to sit at the end of my desk with Him rather than the middle. As soon as I sat down I was in heaven again. I have no idea how He did that, but there I was in heaven at the banquet table looking at Jesus. This was not a dream! I couldn't believe it, I was looking straight across the banquet table at Jesus! He’s smiling at me, He is beautiful! His eyes and His soft look, I’m mesmerized! 

It is so apparent how He looks at me that He loves me! It’s like His love so elegantly just wrapped me in His arms. I don't know how He did that. No one has ever looked at me that way before with such love. For a moment, I could see the look of unbelief on my face. Of course, I couldn't believe this was happening! I couldn’t stop looking at Jesus and it seemed He couldn't stop looking at me.

He was making me feel like I was the most beautiful person He has ever seen. It seems like the more He looks at me, the more beautiful I become. I feel special to Him, I don't even feel like me anymore. It was as if He drew the real me out from within me somehow. I am not the me I am without Him, but the person He sees me as. 

His love for me is genuine. No matter what I have done or how imperfect I am, He thinks well of me. His love makes me cry, it can’t be helped. I’m crying just remembering.  

He started talking to me, but not with His mouth. I could hear Him think. He acknowledged what I went through to get there.  

There are others there I didn't take notice of until He looked away from me. He was loving them the same way He was me, and like me they were mesmerized by Him. Jesus encouraged us in our assignments and recognized us for our perseverance. He said that when we returned we would reminisce of our adventures and all that we endured to overcome. He said what we endured to be with Him would be recorded in the Book Of Life!

He looked at me again and as he did, I thought of the dress, or maybe He reminded me of it. I was thinking about how beautiful it was and wondered about it and how it looked on me. Then of course as I was thinking that, He showed me. I could see myself in my dress —I felt so beautiful and like a princess! Jesus showed me the neckline of the dress. I could see my face and my hair, my hair was up. I felt beautiful—He made me feel beautiful!

I had to stop just now to look away and cry. At first glance, I noticed the word Cinderella I had written on a piece of paper. Yes, I felt like Cinderella finally appreciated for who I am. I am Cinderella and I am going to marry Jesus!   Revelation knowledge is apparent right now as I discover that is exactly what He is doing in this moment—Healing me from the world's judgment. 

This is a Cinderella story and I didn't even realize it! Never loved, not like I am being loved at this moment. I can't think of Cinderella without thinking of my little sister, she too is a Cinderella and is already with Jesus. 

This is a real Cinderella story and Jesus wants to rescue you from the disaster you live in. Until you meet Jesus you will never experience real love. You won’t be loved fully until you are with Jesus. No one can love you as He can. You won't be appreciated for who you are until you are with Him. You won’t even see the real you until you meet Him face to face. It is magical, it’s healing, and way more than I can explain to you. 

I don't know at what moment I left, but as suddenly as I left I was back. I was stunned to be sitting at my desk in the same chair I barely remember sitting in before I left. I’m in awe, with an imprint of Jesus in my mind that will never leave me. I now have that vivid place where I can always return to, to reminisce with Jesus. I love that. He changed me and I will never be the same.
