“Do you feel free to follow me
as a member of My flock,
nestled always in the
comfort of my arms,
content to be a part of what
was built on Peter’s Rock,
as a promise to the sunshine
that will brighten all life’s storms?”

Behold, that which was promised
to the two in paradise
Before they broke the bond
that only had one rule.
“From all there is take all you want
of that which will suffice,
but, of the Tree of Knowledge . . .
you must leave untouched,
death’s tool.

Can you imagine Me
as a cool breeze on your brow?
Did you know I can cure pain
and wounded pride?
Can you believe in Me enough
to admit the time is now
to stop your life of foolishness
and push the winds of strife aside?

If so, stand down from what
you’ve always dreamed you’d be;
take up the causes that
I hold so very high . . .
resign yourself to all the pain
of traveling with Me,
and together we shall climb
the highest mountain
. . . YOU AND I!

From the top of the world
we’ll see those things
from which all dreams are made . . .
the beauty I’ve created,
in this, My endless universe,
the reality of substance
(which, once shaped, will never fade).
My Truth is like a poem of love
with one long continuing verse.”

Oh what beauty there is in this glorious verse John.!
Every line is a gem, but I like best the

My Truth is like a poem of love
with one long continuing verse.”

continuing yes,- but perhaps even more "crescendo" verse while it continues.
increasing yet ever more.
What promise these beautiful words hold out!
Its wonderful to have the Master back again to remind us of our possibilities..
AMDG
Be blessed John
