Chapter 23 - Page 328 - Field Of Flowers

   She could still see Jesus descending from heaven. As he drew closer and closer, Rhasha started to shake. She knew Jesus was coming to her, but she didn't feel worthy to be in his presence. Seconds later, he hovered in the air directly in front of her, about two feet off the ground. Rhasha began to cry. She fell to her knees and kissed his feet.

   "Stand up, child, so I can see your face," Jesus said in a voice of pure innocence.

   Rhasha slowly stood, but didn't open her eyes.

   "Look at me, Rhasha," Jesus said, "for I have something to say."

   Rhasha opened her tear-filled eyes. "Jesus," she whimpered, "I love you with all my heart. I know you must be the son of God." She covered her face with her hands, still weeping.

   Jesus didn't say anything; Rhasha thought he'd left. She raised her face. He was still there, holding his hands out toward her. The bright light was still behind him; Rhasha couldn't see his features clearly.

   "Rhasha," Jesus said, "I love you too, and I want you to be with me in paradise. Repent of your sins and ask me to come into your heart. I will never forsake you."

   Rhasha broke down in sobs. "I beg you, Jesus," she whimpered, "will you come into my heart?"

   "Yes Rhasha," Jesus said, "and when I ascend back to heaven, I'll send the Holy Spirit to guide you from this day on."

   Rhasha felt loving warmth flow through her body. She stopped crying. The warm sensation felt good. She smiled at Jesus as he rose heavenward. The four angels closed the window into heaven and disappeared, leaving Rhasha standing in the field of flowers. She heard the humming sound.When it faded away, the field of flowers faded too, and everything went dark. Rhasha felt as though she had gone through a tunnel and then emerged into the light again-she was back in church.
