A very sick man, visiting a small-town clinic, turned to his doctor, as he was leaving the room after paying a visit & said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."
Very quietly the doctor said, "I don't
know."
"You don't know?" the man said.
"You, a Christian, do not know what is on the other side?"
The doctor was holding the handle of the
door, on the other side of which came a sound of scratching & whining. As
he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room & leaped on him with an
eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said,
"Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't
know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here &
when the door opened, he sprang in without fear."
"I know little of what is on the other
side of death," the doctor continued, "but I do know one thing: I
know my Master is there & that is enough. And when the door opens, I shall
pass through with no fear, but with gladness.

1 Cor 2:9 (NET): But just as it is written,
“Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things
God has prepared for those who love him.”
“We talk about heaven being so far away. It
is within speaking distance to those who belong there. Heaven is a prepared
place for a prepared people.” - D.L.
Moody.
