September
11, 2001
You
say you will never forget where you were when
you heard the news
on September 11, 2001. Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room
with a man who called
his wife to say "Good-Bye." I held
his fingers steady as he dialed.
I
gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am
not going to make it, but it
is OK...I am ready to go."
I
was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their
children. I held her up as she tried to understand
his words and as
she realized he wasn't coming home that night.
I
was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when
a woman cried out to Me
for help. "I have been knocking on the
door of your heart for 50
years!" I said. "Of course I will
show you the way home -- only
believe in Me now."
I
was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the
injured and devastated souls. I took him home
to tend to his Flock in
Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.
I
was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer.
I was with the crew as they were overtaken.
I was in the very hearts
of the believers there, comforting and assuring
them that their faith
has saved them.
I
was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing
next to you when you
heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?
I
want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name -- though
not all know Me. Some met Me for the first time
on the 86th floor.
Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through
the smoke and flames;
"Come
to Me...this way...take my hand." Some
chose, for the final
time, to ignore Me. But, I was there.
I
did not place you in the Tower that day. You
may not know why, but
I do. However, If you were there in that explosive
moment in time,
would you have reached for Me?
September
11, 2001, was not the end of the journey for
you. But
someday your journey will end. And I will be
there for you as well.
Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any
moment, you know you
are "ready to go."
I
will be in the stairwell of your final moments.
God
