CHAPTER 48

As I lay in the darkness of this unknown place I cried out, “LORD! Jesus, Lord save me!”

What is this place? I thought again. Is it a grave? A pit? Hell, even? (No, it cannot be hell, I thought.) But how horrid the earthy place to which I was not accustomed and could not discern. I cried out-loud once more:

LORD, save me!

Finally, Light penetrated the deep darkness and fear of this place and washed over my unfamiliar surroundings with comfort, hope and a tangible love – yes, love was what I now felt surround me – love, not death.

“Lord,” I exclaimed in relieve joy, “thank you.”

We were definitely not in Heaven. We were in a place on the earth; but it was okay, the LORD was with me.

“Lord, what has happened?”

I waited for the LORD to answer. I had peace in this place where moments ago I trembled in overwhelming fear. I was in the presence of the Lord once more, surrounded by His abundant love and I waited for what the LORD would have me do.
