THIS IS MY STORY - PETER HAYMAN

Before I knew I was going to heaven when I died, I was afraid of death.

When I was 32, one of my best friends suffered a massive heart attack and died before

help could arrive. At his graveside funeral in Dallas, I watched his grieving wife hold

their infant son. The little boy was too young to understand that his father was gone. As

I left, I thought, "That's me." I was going through life not knowing what would happen

after death. Questions filled my mind: Why am I here? What is my purpose? What

happens when I die?

Then I walked into a church and heard a message that changed my life. I learned that I

could know I was going to heaven when I died. I left that church with that assurance,

and one of the greatest changes was that I was no longer afraid of dying.

At the time, I traveled often by plane for business. I used to worry about crashes and

could rarely sleep during flights. But after I came to trust Christ, that fear disappeared.

One day, I was sound asleep when we hit the runway so hard that the whole plane

shook and woke me up. My first thought was, "We're crashing!" But before I realized we

were safe, my next thought was, "I'm going to heaven." That moment showed me

something important: I truly believed God's promise.
