“Meet Me In The Stairwell”
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 her
children. I
held her up
as she
tried to
understand
his words
and as she
realized he
wasn’t
coming home
that night
or any
other
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 to
your heart
for 50
years!” I
said. “Of
course, I
will show
you the way home - only
believe 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 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, New
York,
Washington,
Pennsylvania,
Florida 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
know every name -
though not
all knew
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
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 those
towers that
day. Nor
did I place
you in
those
planes. You
may not
know why,
but I do.
However, if
I had,
would you
have
reached for
Me in that
explosive
moment in
time?
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, so at any moment you will be ready to go.
I
will be in
the
stairwell
of your
final
moments!
God
