A Letter From Heaven
The angels came and ushered me
into God's presence, dear mama.
They carried me like you did,
when I would fall asleep.
I awoke into the arms of Jesus,
the One who gave His life for me.
It's so beautiful up here, mama!
So beautiful like you have always said.
A pure river of life, clear as crystal forever flowing,
proceeding out of the throne of God.
So overwhelmed was I with His love, dear mama,
imagine my joy seeing Jesus face to face!
His smile so warm...
His face so radiant...
"Welcome Home my child!" He tenderly said.
Oh don't be sad for me, mama!
I can run, and jump
dance and sing!
I 'm so light on my feet like I'm dreaming, mama!
Sometimes I laugh as I dance
in the presence of the angels.
The curse death has lost its sting.
Oh don't cry for me so, mama,
your teardrops fall like the summer rain...
Death is sorrowful with its seperation.
Cry for a while, but not as those in vain.
Alhough God called me home so early, mama,
with so many dreams we had, so many songs unsung.
I'll be in your heart, in your cherished memories.
The moments we had, will carry you through.
Oh mama, remember when at bed time
I'd crawl up in your bed?
You would tell me stories of Jesus
and the love for us He had.
I looked into your face
as you read to me in the candlelight.
"Will angels come to carry me home too, mama?"
You chuckled teasingly, ruffling my hair.
"Yes, my little angel, but you have to wait!
Trust Him as your Savior,
in His blood that was shed for you."
On bended knees you prayed for me,
a tear splashed down your cheek.
"Was that a tear mama...?" I asked you softly,
you looked away from me.
A tender sigh escaped your lips, gathering your thoughts together.
" Yes, my little angel, tears in my heart water my prayers."
you said softly, kissing me goodnight.
I remember those nights, mama.
Your treasured stories.
Mama's lullabies that I tucked in my heart.
In the darkness, the slamming of my daddy's door
echoed his drunkenness in the night.
Through the thin walls, I could hear you cry.
An angel weeps, my mama.
"Take care of mama..." I asked God softly,
watering my prayers with tears.
That night when you prayed for me,
I got down on my knees.
The moonlight danced on the wooden floors,
as I asked God to save me.
Although I didn't know what to say at first,
I remember what you said,
"Pray from your heart, dear child,"
you said softly, turning to the door to leave.
"Dear Jesus, I am a sinner.
I'm sorry for my sins.
Please forgive me, like mama says you would.
I'm sorry they were so mean to you
when they nailed you to the tree.
Come into my life, dear Jesus
and should the angels come,
take me to Heaven with you.
And Jesus...I hear my mama crying,
watch her while she sleeps.
Forgive daddy for being so mean,
like You have forgiven me.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen."
Jesus came into my life that night, dear mama,
in the darkness, I could feel you smile.
Bells rang for me in Heaven,
my name written in the Book of Life.
So don't cry for me mama...
I'm here in Heaven because of you.
Jesus needs you now, for there are my brothers,
there's more work on earth for you to do.
One day when your work is over
the angels will come to carry you,
safetly into the arms of Jesus,
the One who loves and cares for you.

Dear soul,
Athough this is just a story,
do you have the assurance of this young girl
that were the angels to come
they will carry you Home to glory?
Death for a believer is but a doorway
that opens into Eternal Life.
Those in Christ have peace with God,
they can face death with a calmness of expectancy
knowing that they are safe in the arms of their Savior.
You too can have that peace.
You can look to the sunrise with renewed hope and anticipation
by receiving the gift of Eternal Life that is being offered to you.
The Scripture assures us of this,
"For by grace are ye saved through faith,:
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God."
~ Ephesians 2:8
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
~ Romans 10:9
Although He longs to spend eternity with you,
He will not force Himself upon anyone.
A person must receive what Christ has done for him,
by acknowledging the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior
by placing their faith in Him.
Tonight you can have your sins forgiven.
You can begin a personal relationship with Him,
by praying a prayer such as the following:
"Oh God, I am a sinner. I am sorry for my sins.
Please forgive me!
I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior;
I confess Him as my Lord.
From now on, I want to follow Him.
In Jesus' name Amen."
