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 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, Virginia, California, Michigan, Afghanistan. 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”.
