smiling... radiant... real...
his white mane... tanned skin... strong...
not part of the dream... an unexpected intruder...
walking straight to me... focused on me...
What are you doing here?... heart welling with emotion...
joy...
he reached for my face... both hands...
I for his...
gone...
he disappeared...
Fully awake... filled with new... fresh... pain of loss...
sobs that won't stop...
I miss my dad... 13 years he's been gone...
I hate death...
pain stirred fresh... why now... why today...
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Revelation 21:3, 4
(emphasis mine)
Do not be ignorant about those who fall asleep or grieve like the rest of men who have no hope... Jesus died and rose again... encourage each other with these words.
Heavenly Father, I'm grateful that You hate death too... grateful You came and destroyed its reign... thank You, Jesus...
