Rocket ship rapture
Over the intercom
Captain Jesus
Points out universe wonders
We soar high, shooting past
Planets, stars and galaxies
Pulsating and huge
Suspended, reflecting His glory
Heard throughout are gasps of delight,
Amazement, excitement and awe
As the Captain calls out each star by name
Rocket ship landing
In this space and place called heaven
Super dense and intense joy
So alive
An angel leads the way
Astonishment moves
Through the crowd
This is home
Buzzing excitement
Abruptly stops as
The angel opens wide
Throne Room Doors
All that I have seen
All that I have heard
All that I have felt…
Nothing compares
To the raw power
And beauty
Of His holiness
Of Him
Woe, woe,
Woe is me
I’m not worthy
Trembling from head to toe
Head bowed
Clothed in dirty rags
Stained beyond recognition
Realization
I come with nothing
Am nothing
Silence
He comes off the throne
And comes to me
A tender touch
Lifts my face
Our eyes connect
Mine spill over with tears of shame
His overflow with forgiving tenderness
With a gentle kiss on my cheek
My rags are transformed
Into a wedding dress....

What stands out to me above all else in Kizzie’s beautiful vision is that He stepped off His throne for me, for you, for us.
The Creator of all, King of kings, put aside His crown, removed His royal robe, stepped off His throne, stepped outside of eternity and came and touched someone as filthy, and lowly as me. Was it only for rocket ship raptures? Universe tours? Dense and intense heavenly joys?
A stunning one-of-kind wedding dress?
This I-long-for-relationship-with-you God stepped down in order to call me His Daughter, Sister, Friend, Apple of His eye, Beloved. He stepped down to walk with me and talk with me and tell me that I am His own. He stepped down that I may know Him and make Him known.
