From Visions Of Jesus Christ:<\/em><\/p>\n

December 20, 2018<\/strong>\u00a0– Reported [here<\/strong><\/a>]. So, seven years ago, I was dying.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

In the middle of a very active, involved, engaged, healthy life, I was struck down in one fell swoop with stage four liver disease. And life changed overnight. I was on a transplant list, and it didn\u2019t look good. At all. Things started changing. Things started changing physically. I was sort of tortured physically during this time, and things started changing emotionally and mentally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because when the liver fails, the brain fails.<\/span><\/p>\n

I started to be able to do less and less. I couldn\u2019t drive, take a shower alone \u2014 \u2019cause I could fall down and hurt myself \u2014 and I couldn\u2019t even read, because I couldn\u2019t concentrate. So for the first time in my life, ever, I would just sit and do nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d never had that experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had a boyfriend once. He fascinated me to no end because he could sit in a chair and just look, looking off into the distance.<\/strong>\u00a0I would sort of pace around like he was some sort of crazy anthropological mystery, and I would question him, asking, \u2018What do you do when you sit there? Are you planning things, or working out problems?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

And he said, \u2018No, I\u2019m just sittin\u2019 here.\u2019<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t get over it. I admired that so tremendously because it was so out of my wheelhouse. And then, when I was sick, I found myself just sitting endlessly. What happens when you are that sick, and you know you are dying, is that little by little you let go of your grip on this life.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I\u2019d always had this, like, vice-grip on life<\/strong>. I was going to just take life and shake it around and make it do things and throw it up in the air. Like a cat, you know? Just kick it behind me, but all of a sudden, that was all over.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I just sat.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And my grip, my grip started to lessen.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And I remember the last time the paramedics came to rush me to the hospital out of my house, and the EMTs asked me three questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s today\u2019s date? Who\u2019s the president? And what\u2019s your date of birth?<\/span><\/p>\n

And I couldn\u2019t answer one question. I knew that I should know, but I couldn\u2019t access the information. And by the way, the president at the time was Obama.<\/span><\/p>\n

I ended up going into a coma, and then after that I had this near death experience. I\u2019ve never talked about it, in depth, ever. Not in seven years.\u00a0For one thing, I couldn\u2019t find words big enough to encompass it. I couldn\u2019t find a way to accurately describe it.<\/strong>\u00a0And I also thought it might be one of those things like when someone who has kids tries to explain the miracle of childbirth to someone who doesn\u2019t give a s\u2014t. You know?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh my god! It\u2019s like nothing you will ever experience in your life and all of a sudden there\u2019s this little being in the world and it\u2019s like your heart is outside your body!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And the person you\u2019re telling is like, \u201cYeah, uh, great. Are we goin\u2019 to lunch?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So, anyway, I sort of had this experience where I seemed to be outside of time and space, and I was shown three things. Number one,\u00a0I was shown a movie,\u00a0<\/strong>going at hyper-speed, just [makes a hyper-speed sound]. But yet I could see every piece of it. And what this movie was, was everything in my life that I\u2019ve ever worried about, that didn\u2019t happen, where nothing terrible happened.\u00a0I saw all the years I\u2019ve wasted worrying about things that never happened,\u00a0<\/strong>or if they did happen, it was no big deal. Or if it was a big deal, I handled it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also saw that every single action or decision that I make in this lifetime, I have to account for. Every single one, no matter how small or how large.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the most important thing, was that I saw when you leave this body and go to the next world, all you take with you is love.<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s it. No resentment, no pettiness, no attachments. Nothing but love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or in my case, I\u2019m taking one very bad tattoo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides that, it\u2019s just love.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what did I learn from this experience that I had?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I learned that every single thing I do in this life, large or small, matters greatly. And that nothing,\u00a0absolutely nothing, matters more than love.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And I love you<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you<\/span><\/p>\n
