I was asleep and I began to dream. I saw a magnificent kingdom filled with all of the finest things. People were all adorned in white and the light was brighter than the sun. On a golden throne sat a man with a glorious crown. He looked very somber to me. When I drew close, I saw he was in tears. I asked someone standing by, how this could be? In all of the splendor and wonder, why was the great man sad? The person said that it was because no one knew about him you see. He said people are forgetting who he is and what he did for them. Suddenly I was pierced by the strangers stare. His eyes seemed to beckon me. I walked towards his throne and fell on bent knees. In awe and wonder I thought what could he want from me? He said I know you, you often speak to me. I am glad to see you have come at last, I wondered how he could know of me. I asked what can I do I am nobody you see, he replied oh you have no idea how special you are to me. He said I need your help, I want you to speak for me. I felt full of shame, for I am no one you see. I asked what can I do lord and he said just speak of me, tell my story to everyone you see. So I awoke from my dream filled with a great peace and an urge to speak of Jesus to everyone I would see. I went out on my way and I told them how Jesus died, and I said I know there are not supposed to be tears in heaven, but I told them why Jesus cried.
