My daughter Jessica and new son-in-law, Jerry, had a beautiful wedding on the 20th of July. Jessica’s smile was contagious and her outward beauty seemed to capture her spirit’s true expression. I could not help but think of the bride of Christ being adorned for her husband and what a glorious day that will be. A good friend of ours was at the wedding and brought his five year old son with him. Everyone calls him “miracle boy” because when he was almost one year old he drowned in a backyard pond and was brought back to life after being unconscious for 40 minutes. Samuel (miracle boy), said, 5 big angels carried him to heaven where he entered a gate and met Jesus and God. He said heaven was much shinier than any pictures he saw. He said Jesus stroked his head and he sat on Gods lap. He said he was shown tiny babies that were the size of his hand, and he played and talked to them. He said he played sword fight with the boys, and the girls played other games. He said the angels took him on a camping trip in a forest for 10 months (Samuel’s concept of eternal time) where he saw a nice tiger, many other animals including dogs and many birds who talked to him. The birds wanted to bring him back to earth but the angel that was holding him said that he would take him back to his mommy because she was crying. Samuel had a supernatural encounter with God which brought him into His presence. When Miracle boy saw me at the wedding he immediately held my hands which were in my pockets (Glennis usually puts my hands in my pockets because my arms dangle by my side). No one outside of a few family members feel close enough to me to touch my hands, Miracle boy was not timid to touch me!! He thinks with God and has no fear of man. Gods’ Glory was revealed at the wedding when He used a little boy to hold my hands! I almost missed God’s personal touch because I was looking for something else. I was looking for a manifestation of a physical healing. But instead He would reveal Himself a different way that day. Jessica’s betrothed, Jerry, came to the wedding to take his new bride by the hand. And Jesus was saying to me that He is coming to the earth again very soon to take His Bride, the Church, by the hand!! He wants us to be ready for Him when He comes. Will we be ready to go with Him to be part of His heavenly kingdom? Or will we miss Him because we are looking for something else?

“But while they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were prepared went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut.” Mt 25:10
