  Joel

  “GOOD MORNING.” Joel greets you, “I trust your journey here was amiable. Here the sun is always up, we don’t sleep, and we don’t need to spend time getting ourselves ready. If there’s somewhere we want to go, we make the voyage effortlessly. Now that you’re here, I’d like to show you around my place.” Sweeping his right arm and wing wide open, the young Angel revealed a series of tall towers that appeared to be rooted together and connected with many rollercoaster-like roadways. “There’re many castles here in Heaven. This one belongs to me. It’s called, the kingdom of Pyspheriose.” Joel said. His presence brightened with a golden adoration. Then a thin bright rainbow appeared within a dazzle of stars and crowned his head.

  The castle floated high above the clouds of Heaven on an island of rock that was free of gravitational force. This wondrous little island was about the size and shape of the American State of Washington. Within its walls was a lake surrounded by groves. Throughout the blue crystal towers were many statues depicting humans whom he’d seen demonstrate acts of goodwill. Smaller white towers and turrets stood around the outer wall and around the inner city. The whole place reflected holy light in intricate ways which created a sense of stepping into a fairy-tale story. Standing taller than all of the other towers was Joel’s prized open auditorium and theater stage. This cinema platform of entertainment was where anyone could come and shine their talent. It was like a place for people to say, “I am who I am, so check me out.”

  This place was established in the middle of his rose garden maze. “I’ve had guests tell me that this castle is full of Holiness. I have planted countless treasures to be discovered throughout.” As soon as you both touch your feet to the balcony of one of the towers, you look out at the phenomenal view below, then Joel says, “It is my honor to show you around my domain so, I invite you, friend of God, come just as you are.”

  As Joel leads you in throughout the tall spires of his Castle’s towers you follow him, flying with supernatural ability. The colors are so new and vibrant. The elevated streets are occupied by Joel’s friends and family. They smile and wave to you as you pass by. It’s a good feeling to be included in such a feel wondrous place. “You might wonder why the Lord would give me a castle. Someone once asked, “Isn’t it a little much?” but God has no problem giving to his children. Nothing pleases him more than to see his children light up with happiness. There’s no limit to the gifts the father wants for you too. Remember to find some way for your gifts to benefit others. When we don’t see the things of the spirit clearly, we don’t see God. What he has intended for us becomes ambiguous. A right perspective of God gives us a right perspective of everything else; life, work, money, service, and relationships. I could go on and on but I don’t need to tell you any more about this, only that it rhymes with gratified. You know, satisfied?” Again he smiled and blushed as a light began to glow warmly through his face.

  After spending the day with Joel and his friends you realize that during that time all of your cares and worries seemed like they were miles away.
