Met In the Stairwell

You say you will never forget where you were when
you heard the news, Sept. 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 on 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 believer 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 they did NOT all know Me. Some met
me for the first time on the 100th floor. Some
sought me out in 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.

GOD
