LIVE!

To my children -
I don’t know
that I have ever truly expressed how much I love you. Nor, do I think
that I have expressed how much I love the Lord. Not truly so that you
could understand. He died for you. He was beaten and bruised and hung
on a tree so that you could be forgiven your sins and you could have
eternal life. He did it so you can be one with the Father.
I am not scared to
die. I am scared to live without fulfilling that which I am called.
You are what I am called to do. To raise up with the thousands of
others who are called by Him to be prepared to raise the banner cry
of FAITH, HOPE, LOVE and TRUTH – which you can only do through
Jesus Christ.
My father called
me a martyr. He thought it was because I was willing to lose all to
go to jail. He was wrong about the application. God has shown me the
correct application – I am willing to give all for Him. Martyr.
Witness. But until yesterday – I had never been a true witness.
To know that in one year's time you will die and leave this world for
HIS. To know that you will stand accountable before the Judgment Seat
of Christ. Before the throne of Grace. That makes the application all
too real.
I must confess and
seek your forgiveness, for I have not been a true witness. I have
lied and deceived you and others. I spoke with my lips and not my
heart. For you see my heart is deceitful and wicked above all else. I
am filthy as rags. Through Christ and Christ alone am I righteous.
And if we refuse to surrender ALL – He cannot cleanse even the
deapest recesses of our heart and mind. All must come first – to
be daily crucified, to be daily cleansed. Please forgive me my
children and my Lord for being so full of sin and deceit to not have
wanted to truly LIVE. For now I see with one year left on this
eternal clock that I must LIVE and WITNESS for all to see. To show
the way to the MASTER.
For I am truly
sorry for all the times I failed to shout, to correct, to love, to
encompass you with His love, to feel, to speak, to be silent, to cry,
to understand and to ask why. I am so sorry for not being His pure
vessel in which to LIVE. But now, now He has shown me what I must do,
what I must become for Him and for you. Understand that the time is
short for you, too. Not to die, but to LIVE.
I love you my
children. LIVE
