The Lord showed me a long beach of sparkling white sand, that extended as far as my eyes could see.
He said, "This beach represents the eternity of joy and peace you will spend with Me in heaven."
Then He showed me a solitary grain of sand, and said, "This represents your life of temporary trials and troubles."
Thus, He taught me to stop worrying about the grain of sand, and keep my eyes on the beach.
