frightened child
in one of his lives his family suffered a tragedy when he was seven.
his father passed away.
he became depressed and never wanted to leave his room.
he remained in bed and shut his eyes and didn't speak or move.
the doctors couldn't bring him out of it.
eventually his body and soul shut down.
_____
an angel came and took him to heaven.
he became afraid when saw how big the gates were.
he closed his eyes again and refused to walk inside.
the angel tried to reason with him but he didn't listen.
the other angels attempted to convince him but none of them were successful.
______
God stepped in and assured him "heaven was a beautiful place."
he didn't believe Him and asked for proof.
God said it didn't work like that.
he heard his father's voice calling to him from behind the gate.
God asked "will you open your eyes now?"
he still wouldn't do it.
_____
God said there's no hurry and promised to walk through the gate with him when he was ready.
