God’s Love for His People
I have seen the tender love that God has for His people, and it is
very great. I saw angels over the saints with their wings spread about
them. Each saint had an attending angel. If the saints wept through
discouragement, or were in danger, the angels that ever attended
them would fly quickly upward to carry the tidings, and the angels in
the city would cease to sing. Then Jesus would commission another
angel to descend to encourage, watch over, and try to keep them
from going out of the narrow path; but if they did not take heed
to the watchful care of these angels, and would not be comforted
by them, but continued to go astray, the angels would look sad and
weep. They would bear the tidings upward, and all the angels in the
city would weep, and then with a loud voice say, “Amen.” But if the
saints fixed their eyes upon the prize before them and glorified God
by praising Him, then the angels would bear the glad tidings to the
city, and the angels in the city would touch their golden harps and
sing with a loud voice, “Alleluia!” and the heavenly arches would
ring with their lovely songs.
There is perfect order and harmony in the Holy City. All the
angels that are commissioned to visit the earth hold a golden card,
which they present to the angels at the gates of the city as they pass
in and out. Heaven is a good place. I long to be there and behold
my lovely Jesus, who gave His life for me, and be changed into His
glorious image. Oh, for language to express the glory of the bright
world to come! I thirst for the living streams that make glad the city
of our God.
The Lord has given me a view of other worlds. Wings were
given me, and an angel attended me from the city to a place that was
bright and glorious. The grass of the place was living green, and
the birds there warbled a sweet song. The inhabitants of the place

were of all sizes; they were noble, majestic, and lovely. They bore
the express image of Jesus, and their countenances beamed with
holy joy, expressive of the freedom and happiness of the place. I
