Revelation 22:1-5
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.


I dreamed about a frozen water fall last night. We tried to climb it but it was impossible, it wasn't even beautiful just sad. But we stopped trying, the sun came and melted it into a rushing, clear, clean river. Then we could actually swim up it like in 'The Last Battle,' by C. S. Lewis. The end of that book is a treasure. His description of heaven is just delicious. I used parts of it in a memorial service once that I lead. Some of the guests had walked out on funerals that were 'too religious' in the past but I managed to keep them there and even get thankful emails from them.
Thank you, Clive Lewis!

We were learning this song yesterday which I think had something to do with my dream. The verses from Revelation above are really about heaven too. But when we sing and dance to this song by Delirious, I think we can enter into the Kingdom if we let the Son melt and heal our hearts. We can live in love forever, 'nuf said.

I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever

Over the mountains and the sea,
Your river runs with love for me,
and I will open up my heart
and let the Healer set me free.
I'm happy to be in the truth,and I will daily lift my hands:
for I will always sing of when Your love came down. [Yeah!]

I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever.
[Repeat]
Oh, I feel like dancing
-it's foolishness I know;
but, when the world has seen the light,
they will dance with joy,
like we're dancing now.
