Sister Grace Chuah’s Dream: “Thomas Lam Was Smiling At Us From the Gate Of Heaven”
“Last Thursday afternoon, I went to the Homegoing Service for Bro. Thomas Lam at Batu Gantung. Many of us there were very sad. I had known Thomas for over a year since I started going to the Balik Pulau Evening Service on Sunday and I had found Brother Thomas to be a very caring and generous brother. He would always ask us to eat first during the Sunday dinner after the service and would eat last. He would also always give me the leftovers for my dog, even when there was not enough leftover for his own dog.
“At the Homegoing Serive, I wanted to comfort Thomas’s wife, Sister Mary, who was crying out quite loudly, but I could not do so as many people were around her. I therefore prayed and asked God to give Mary a dream or a vision to comfort her. Instead, that very night I had a dream of Thomas.
“In the dream, I saw everyone of us in this church were at the crematorium. I saw Thomas lifted up high and he was talking to us. He thanked us for coming. Then he asked us whether we know where he was. Then he said he was in front of the gate of heaven. He was very happy and he said that he wanted to give each of us a rose from heaven. When we received the roses, we saw that each of the rose of heaven in our hand was made of gold. We were all filled with joy. Then Thomas went up higher and higher. In a short while, he disappeared and we saw that everything had become white and bright.
“I praise God for this dream, that has brought great comfort to me and to Thomas’ family.”
Interpretation ( by Brother Andrew ):
This dream is a confirmation and assurance to us that Thomas is indeed in the presence of the Father in heaven, and he has entered into his eternal reward.
The rose from heaven signifies the life of Christ that God has given to each of us, for Jesus is the Rose of Sharon. The rose is gold in colour because it has come from the King of kings.
By giving each of us a rose, God wants each of us to shine forth the beauty and the fragrance of Jesus wherever we go, loving everyone with the love of God, just as Thomas always did in his life on this earth.
