I just wanted to share part of a dream I had back in November of 2008. There were many different things that happened in it, but in the end of it, I was martyred for following Christ.  After being martyred, I found myself in this huge, round swimming pool. I knew that I was dead as far as the Earth was concerned, but I was clinging onto the sides of the pool for a couple different reasons.  One, I can’t swim and the pool seemed bottomless. The second reason is I could feel this intense heat at my feet.  It was almost burning me it was so hot, and I didn’t know what it was.  But a few months earlier, I had a dream where I fell into Hell, and somehow in this present dream, I could recall the memory of having that dream and wasn’t going to dare find out if that’s what was at the bottom of the pool.  So, I just hung onto the sides for quite a while, and I could see all the things going on in the Earth from a distance.  I was kind of afraid as to what this heat was under my feet, what would happen if I fell into this bottomless pool, and what I was doing there, when all of a sudden, I heard the audible voice of God say, “You thought that the heat was Hell, but it’s my burning passionate desire for my people.”

This was a relief to me, and I decided to trust Him.  I just let go as I sank further and further and further, then I just woke up. I found this dream to be comforting to me because God was telling me He has a burning passionate desire for me. It was like a bottomless pool of never ending love.  God is a burning fire, and His desire is for you.  So, the next time you feel all alone and like He has forgotten you, remember the phrase He spoke, “You thought that the heat was Hell, but it’s my burning passionate desire for my people” .  Realize that the heat symbolizing His love and desire for you was so intensely hot that I couldn’t even begin to describe it.  Always remember His love.  Remember His desire.  Remember it is for You!
