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.
Love,
God
