Everbody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to go now!

Except me. Having been there multiple times during NDE’s, I miss it beyond words of expression. The Love was so strong that coming back felt like my heart was ripped out.

There has not been one day since my first NDE over 35 years ago that I have not thought about it.

In October of 2023 I got to spend 9+ hours there again. The surgeon told me that I became agitated after surgery when they were pulling the ventilator at 4.5 hours and I fought them pulling the tubes. They pulled them anyway and I refused to start breathing, so they put them back in. Five hours later I returned.

I’m not here by my will.

You only die once. God isn’t giving tours of heaven.

“Everbody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to go now!”

When Dad was in the hospital with heart issues, he would get angry in the mornings when he woke up. He would look around and ask, “Why am I still here?” He did that for about a week before he actually went.

Thanks for posting that. Totally credible. I have never had an NDE, nevertheless sometimes my longing or groaning for heaven seems unusually intense and frustratingly unsatisfied, if that makes any sense.

>> I miss it beyond words of expression. The Love was so strong that coming back felt like my heart was ripped out...I’m not here by my will.

Thank you for your testimony! You & Paul are in alignment:

“For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better. I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me. But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live.”

Are you familiar with Bob Jones? He had a NDE that is described in the book “Did you learn to love?”. His wife Bonnie together with his child wrote the book after he passed. Sadly, the book is out of print although you can get the eBook:

FRegards & Blessings!
