About This Story
When Hadarah Belle was three, her family had just moved, and she was carrying real grief over the people they had left behind. Then she woke one night with a different kind of tears, telling her mother she had been to Heaven and seen Jesus. She described the rainbow, the singing flowers, the lion asleep beside the lamb — and a girl who said she was her older sister, 17 years old. For Hadarah’s mother, that detail confirmed a loss she had carried quietly for 17 years. When Hadarah later saw Akiane Kramarik’s Prince of Peace, she recognized it at once as the real Jesus, the one she had met. Her #iam_beloved story is a child’s witness to a love that meets every family where it hurts.

#iam_beloved: Meet Hadarah Belle - Full Transcript
Hadarah: Last year, I went to Heaven. I saw Jesus. His head was so bright that I covered my eyes in my blanket — I bring a blanket to Heaven. It had the biggest rainbow you have ever seen. Jesus had holes in His hands and feet, and I touched them and put my fingers in them.
Hadarah: The fields all around Heaven had all kinds of flowers in them, even pansies — singing flowers, worshipping God. I saw every animal He made. I saw the lion and the lamb. The lamb was so cuddly; she was asleep next to a lion, because everything is kind in Heaven. The babies and angels were holding hands — and also my other sister, my sister before me.
Hadarah’s mother: I’m Hadarah’s mom, and I was there when she woke up after her dream of Heaven. One thing she told me, I knew was absolutely from God. She said, “I met a girl in Heaven who said she was my sister. She said she was 17 years old.” And I started bawling my eyes out, because 17 years ago I was on a bathroom floor, crying, holding a little child in my hands. I’ve never really spoken about it to anyone — but she’s there in Heaven. Ever since this happened, we’ve been recording her testimony, trying to really grasp what she saw.
Hadarah: The first time I saw it, I cried. It was the real Jesus — the one I saw in Heaven. I got to meet Akiane. I made her a card of Jesus. And thank you for painting my Jesus.
