Library of Limbo

Slipping into a reverie, I was somewhere else.. Looking up, all I saw was books on a shelf. Searching through the depths of my soul... I perceived to be in some kind of “library of limbo”. Unanswered questions were going through my pate. Why was I here? Is this my eternal fate? Hastily, I picked life over death…. The volume was heavy as I heaved a breath. I opened the book and stared in astonishment. All the things I did or said were now in judgment. I closed the volume and started to cry. On my hands and knees I began to ask why. The volume “Sin” fell open in front of me. I opened up the book and what did I see? The contents, were a sinners logbook~ In my tremulous soul, I knew; I also partook. Feeling laden with a soul full of torment. I put the book back up, next to “Repent”. My soul seemed to be longing and searching... I picked up that volume and began reading. Tears over spilled as I realized and started to pray. That all my sins I've committed were already paid. I bowed my head, “Lord, I have sinned; forgive me.” “I accept you in my life” I repeated with sinerity.. Picking up the next book “Saved” I opened fast! I read “You've accepted Christ the Savior, you’re saved alas!” Volume “Heaven” fell in my lap, the card was not past due.. I opened it up and read “My child, Heaven awaits you.” I woke up dizzily, out of the library of limbo~ Feeling rest assured knowing Heaven is where I'll go.
