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, and 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
Our Father who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come,
Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us
from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.
