Act 3

The third act in your mental movie is the arrival in heaven. Vividly picture your departed loved one meeting friends and family that are waiting for them. How long has it been since your grandparents have seen you? Do you really think they are going to greet you with a handshake? How long has it been since you’ve seen your mom? How hard do you think she’s going to hug you?

Keep in mind that everyone in heaven will be family. Everyone in heaven will love the way we should already be loving on earth, with perfect love. Everyone in heaven is a big deal to the other people who live there because everyone in heaven sees you as God sees you and values you as God values you. Everyone you knew on earth will greet you in heaven like a long lost brother.
You have this vivid, visual picture of the dead body of your departed loved one in your mind. That thing in the coffin is not your loved one, it’s just his body. Picture your loved one where they are at right now. Do this frequently. Play your mental movies over and over again. Don’t just read this and then forget it. Discipline yourself to create the mental movies. You already know how to daydream. This is the kind of thing you should have been daydreaming about all along.
