[bodytext] => Dear Brothers and Sisters In Christ, This is a vision that a cherished friend of mine had while praying and seeking the Lord. It is so powerful, it gave me chills when I read it. I pray that it will minister to your heart as well, and that you are as blessed by this as I was. It really explained a lot to me. We are one in the Lord and I pray that ALL unity in Him will one day be restored, and they'll know we are Christians by our love!! ************************************************ I was praying in the Chapel last Sunday and was thinking about those that I have the most difficult time understanding, those that hurt us and are not sincere in their love for others, those that are the most difficult for us to love, that give others a really hard time in life, times of heartache and trial, and I asked the Father, "Why Lord, why do I have to love those who don't love me or make any effort to want me and who persecute me?" and He said to me, (as I saw Him lying there on the floor of the Chapel in front of me, on the cold, hard tile covered with Blood, His Blood running down His cheeks and His face, the crown of thorns pressed into His head and His hair matted against His face by His dried Blood;) "Because I have loved you when you didn't want Me, My child. I reached out for you when you would not embrace Me, I cried for you when you couldn't cry, I cared for you when you didn't think about Me. The ones you have not cared for and put aside as if they were not there were abused by you and shunned, that is how I feel when you do this to Me, because when you have done this to others, this is how much you love Me. The one you love the least in the world is how much you love Me. Inside of each person in the world, each soul, there is Me, When you don't love, when there is anger and regret and jealousy in you toward another, it is Me that you feel this way toward, I Am a part of that person, each person on earth no matter what they are or what they do, and I Am asking you to love Me, and to love Me is to pray for each person you meet that the person will become a part of me by loving me and turning to Me for help and peace in their lives. This, my child, is how you love Me, by loving the person that you think is impossible to love, for caring for the person and praying for the person to make his or her life better on this earth. Through Me all things are possible!" I said, Father, help me! I can't do it by myself, take my hand and hold it, hold onto me and don't let me fail you again, Lord!!" I thought then about all those in my past that I could have helped if I had just taken the time, those I had hurt verbally, those who reached out to me and I was not there to help them, those I walked away from in fear or anger or frustration and those I find it so hard to love. When I feel His Presence so very close to me His love overwhelms me and amazes me and the tears stream down my face as I cry out to Him for help, "Abba Father! I love You, Lord!!" I can't do anything, even the simplest thing,without Him, I never really ever could, I just thought I could!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
