A Vision of Heaven
by Belinda van Rensburg
It happened many years ago,
Yet what I saw I'll not forget:
I was feeling sad and low
Because of something someone said.
Then I prayed "Lord, hear my cry,
I am so lonely and depressed;
Won't You touch me as I lie
Broken, hurting, on my bed?"
Slowly then the veil was lifted
Between the present and the next.
'Twas as if dimensions shifted,
As with a vision I was blessed.
What God showed me was astounding,
And it took my breath away -
For, before my very eyes,
A deep, cloud-covered schism lay.
Beyond this schism rose a mountain,
Much too awesome to describe.
Mortal tongues can't do it justice -
That Mount beyond the Great Divide.
It seemed composed of a strange substance,
Akin to light and golden glass.
There was nothing growing on it -
No trees, no flowers, nor green grass.
As I gazed in awe and wonder,
I heard a gentle, inner Voice
"Look as long as you have need to",
And I marveled at this choice.
Peace then flooded my whole being
As I lay there touched by God,
And with peace came inner healing,
Strength and faith which waiver not.
Thank you, God, for giving me,
A tiny glimpse of what's to come;
I can hardly wait to see
The rest of heaven, and Your Son!
