GOD Gives Peace During Mourning

Nothing on earth can be so bad that can compare to the greatness of Heaven.

Acts 7:55, the stoning to death of Stephen for his testimony for Christ, "Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up and saw the glory of GOD, and Jesus standing at the right hand of GOD."

My father had a same experience when he was on his deathbed. He no longer could see us, but heaven definitely opened to him! Angels were descending so quickly his head would sway from side to side as he counted, "Look out, here they come! One, two, three, look out!" When the glory of GOD appeared, his eyes (in the dim light of the room) sparkled the reflection of the glory he saw! He let out a joyful squeal and closed his eyes never to open them again! Though we were in mourning at my father's passing, the LORD surely blessed us with the assurance of my dad's home going to the LORD forever!
