Sometimes, I dream of heaven.
Almost always, I think of a beautiful lion sitting in all his majesty. Maybe I’ve watched too much Chronicles of Narnia and fallen in love with the character Aslan, but the Scripture tell us that Christ is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. And I look forward to the day that Mighty Lion rises and roars for all the heaven lies to hear. I look forward to the day He leads His children into battle against the enemy to slay and bind him forever. I look forward to the day when the mighty Lion lays down with the Lamb. And I look forward to the day I can just snuggle up close to Him, wrap my arms around His neck and call Him, “Friend,” face to face.
Yeah, you might just think I’m crazy, or maybe you just need to watch The Chronicles of Narnia again, and ask that Mighty Lion to reveal Himself to you.
That’s one of His specialties…
(Rev. 5:5-6; 5:12-13; 1 Corinthians 15:57)
I’m a little in love with Aslan myself. I also love the last scene of “The Lion King,” when the rightful King takes his place and roars in triumph. 🙂
I wrote a song years ago about Narnia that I sang to my children, my students, and now my grandchildren. I published the lyrics last summer:

💗 That’s what He’s all about. I can’t wait to see Him in living color. Thank you for your admiration; yet, it is only a choosing and determination of my heart. He does all the rest, and He’s so very good at it. 💗

Fanciful? Maybe, but you make it real. I admire your closeness to the Lion.
