| ANGEL TALK |
Just inside the Pearly Gates Under a gorgeous golden sky Two angels hovered near a cloud (They don't sit like you and I!) Wings folded up beneath them They swayed with every breeze Both deep in conversation And as comfy as you please "I just don't understand it," Said angel number one, "I've watched & studied everything Those foolish souls have done." The second angel gave a shrug, "Why do you even care? It's no concern of ours at all What they choose to do down there" "Maybe not," the first one said "But I'd still like to know With all the blessings they've received What makes them quarrel so?" The second angel stretched his wings Then smoothed a ruffled feather, "It's just about a hopeless cause For men to live in peace together! The Master's working very hard Has been for generations.... And still they fight among themselves Causing death and devastation" Then the older angel sighed "You can't change things, little one The Father has tried everything He even sacrificed His Son!!" The young angel nodded slowly "That's what seems so bad!! He suffered, bled and died for them He gave them all He had!" "Oh, He still has more to give" The other looked both sad and wise "For I've seen Jesus when souls are lost And I've held Him as He cries... For to Him, each one is precious, With a value beyond measure He wants them all up here with Him To share in Heaven's treasure. And sometimes, someone still on Earth Will kneel in fervent prayer Crying out, 'Please help me, Lord! Show me that You're there!' And when that happens you will hear Every bell in Heaven ring As the Father's love pours down like rain And the Heart of Jesus sings!!" |
