Imagine a place. A place so wonderful, so exciting, so breathtaking that it could never be in our world , but in a holy place. A place of refuge and protection. A place of peace, of restoration, of hope. Imagine stepping into a gate and the beauty overtakes you. Color envelopes you. Splendor is all around. The birds sing and the wind wisps through your hair, as the fields dance before your eyes. Flowers and trees catch your eye. Not ordinary flowers but flowers with a burst of brightness and life. Imagine the greenest grass under your feet as you take that first step. Imagine a perfect scent. A scent so wonderful, so amazing it takes your very breath away. As you walk through this amazing place of new birth you feel peace, you feel safe. You’ll never desire another thing again. As you continue on you lie down at the refreshing spring and you sleep. You sleep a dreamless sleep. You never thought that you could sleep like that. The sunlight as your blanket and the grass as your pillow. You feel as if you are floating on air. When you awaken you have such joy you must find the creator of all of this so you can, thank him. When you find him you walk and talk through this fairy tale like place for hours. You feel as if you have known him forever. All the years of rejection, and torment have been worth the pain just to experience this place for a second. You made it . You ran the race and fought the fight and now you have made it to Paradise.
