I was walking along the street and turned my face toward the heavens. The sky was suddenly drained of its vibrant blue hue and bled into a crimson red. The sun was shining hot and bright. I instantly fell flat on my face. I knew not why, but that is the posture I had to take. Somehow I also knew that this was all of mankind's posture at that same moment. Everywhere people were falling on their faces before our creator.
As soon as I bowed low, I heard my God speak to me directly and personally. His voice was strong, clear and full of vigor, but still gentle. Right then, I became completely awestruck by my Lord. He had created me, this worthless little human and yet he still loved me so deeply. The life I lived here on earth was important but it was nothing compared to what would be happening soon. He was so great and mighty, I couldn't quite comprehend. I became overwhelmed and began to cry as my heart was filled with gratitude and a bit of fear as I knew what was coming next. I would soon be brought back to my past failures, regrets, and shortcomings. I wasn't looking forward to it, but I knew God's grace would cover me.
And then I woke up.
