I Dreamed I saw Jesus
In 1979, when we lived in Loma Linda California, we had many dear friends and had lots of fun with them.  On August five, we had a delightful outing. During this camp out at Mead Lake with friends Kay and Rick Henderson, Lindy and husband and Arnie Barret, I had a dream that I saw Jesus coming in the clouds. The small cloud in the East became bigger and bigger until I could see the lovely face of Jesus. He had such a kind face.
When Jesus looked at me, He sadly shook His head. Instantly the reason flashed into my mind. I had shorted out my Bible study time because I was so busy making medical school goals my "god". I crammed Organic Chemistry classes into one summer and shortened my time daily with God.  My devotion time with God was very hurried and I had stopped my evening times of prayer and study. I was shutting out my BEST FRIEND. He loved me so much He gave me the dream to warn me of where I was headed.
I awoke with serious thoughts. I did not want to miss out on heaven. Quietly there in the tent, while all the other campers were sleeping, I wondered how I could be sure that I would not see a sad face Jesus refusing me entrance into heaven because I was not ready. I had the little book "Steps to Christ" along. As it began to get lighter, I began to read. I think God planned where I should open this book. Reading on the chapter of prayer, I read that if I was really seeking to be closer to Jesus and to get ready for His coming, I would attend the mid week prayer meeting services at the church. I was already attending church once a week.
I had a friend Lindy who always urged me to go with her but even though I promised, I found myself too busy or just forgot. I promised God right there in the tent that morning, if He would remind me, I would always go. I so much want to be ready when my Jesus comes. He has reminded me and since that time, I have enjoyed the blessing that comes with studying with others who like to pray.
And now, little children, abide in Him; that when He shall appear; we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at His coming. I John 2:28

Do not turn from His gentle calls or His calls to you will come less frequently and quieter until He finally leaves you alone out of respect for your choice.
