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
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.
Remember..I love you…
God
