Chapter Seven ~ a special fountain in heaven!

So far the scene has had mostly gray tones of color, but not any more!  Everything was in full color and beautiful.

I met Him on the path. The trees were a heavenly green and the stream was happy.  They don't call them babbling brooks for nothing. ha! 

He is my Living Water! 

He gave me a hug.  John 7:38 says,  He who believes in ME, as the Scripture has said, out of the heart will flow rivers of living water.

I want my heart to flow out rivers of living water.  No more clogs, dams or barriers!  Please Jesus, release me and my heart to have that freedom.  I release my desires to you, I give you my whole heart and soul.  Take my mind, body and emotions. I need healing ~ everyday.

"There is no shame, there is no blame, for needing Jesus as much as I do. I am nothing without Him.  I love you Jesus."  

Ahead I could see more trees, not in a line but in a cluster.  Big beautiful trees that were as healthy as can be, after all they are in heaven:)  As we walked I saw a gate and a fence.  We came to the gate and stopped. I looked at the gate, it was taller than me. I looked at Jesus. I waited.

He gently said "Open the gate“.

It was a brown gate, nothing pretentious, except for a handle that looked shiny and golden.  I opened the gate.

I was looking at an enclosed courtyard, with a brown fence all around. The space was square. The ground was made of beautiful clay bricks, they were perfectly placed.  There was a tree in the far left corner and I could see trees beyond the fence.

Inside the courtyard,  next to the fence were beautiful green plants, some with flowers. Jesus knows how much I love plants and flowers.

In the center of the courtyard was a fountain.

He made a gesture with his right hand toward the fountain.  As I realized what I was looking at, It was clearly not just any fountain.  It was a fountain that could only be in heaven. It is about seven feet tall with three tiers. The bottom tier about five feet wide. 

It looked like a pearl... oh! It is pearl!

I slowly walked up to it in amazement.  The bottom tier was the perfect height for me to look down and see a reflection of myself.  I remember feeling a sense of awe and love.  I put my face over the fountain edge and looked at the water.  I looked a lot better than I had been feeling! 

He spoke this to me "it is one pearl“.

Wow! I walked around the fountain, my hand touching the softness of the pearl texture. I listened to the water flow.  The water was pure.  I felt such love.  He was  

right there with me.  One pearl. That's my Birthstone! We lingered as I soaked in this moment.

One pearl? this is Heaven, MaryAnn!

Night eight ~ there’s another gate!

On this night I met Jesus in the Fountain Courtyard, my fountain courtyard!   We were moving forward to another gate that was opposite the first gate. I HAD to take another look at the pearl fountain as I walked away, it was so beyond beautiful. The pureness of the pearl was perfect. A true work of art.

This time He opened the gate for me and I walked through it.  I was standing in another outdoor area with the same clay bricks.  There was a huge tree in the center of the space, as if to be the focal point of this happy patio.  What beauty. It was perfect.
