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 for 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
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.
Remember...I
love you.
