Loran G's NDE

I was bathed in the most extreme living light one could imagine. Somehow I saw everything on earth and how this light absolutely loved everything on earth, a billion times more than love as we know it. Even fine hair  underneath plants leaves were not only loved but somehow accounted for. I laughed at the notion that we did not know how much we are loved. It was stupendous in emotion, I did not want to ever leave that love. Suddenly I felt like I gasped and said," I'm not done with my children!" Everything flew by backwards and I awoke to a smiling son. My hardest effect has been that I live for that light, I want to return! No woman, child, animal or belief has ever been able to even approach this Love. It now gives me great solace when I meditate on it, as I know God is good and no one will be forgot. The only frustration is how I wish every one on Earth could be bathed in and remember that light.
