The Divine Exchange
I asked God.....
'O Merciful one
That watches over me
I ask you for a gift
That makes me strong
To do Thy work.....
Silently.....
As I finished my wish
The gift arrived
It said.....
"O child of Mine
I heard your prayer
I have sent to you
A gift that shall
Pick you in spirit each day
It is the joy of a smile
That I shall place upon your lips
And with it you shall
Serve Me.....
Each and every day."
"O Good One
That leads all the saints
That protects the meek
And strengthens the weak
To You I ask my sweet Lord
Will I wake up
To a perfect day?"
As I had spoken
My wishful thought
The rainbow of mercy
Descendant from the heaves above....
Its colors of kindness
Entered my soul
And the Lord spoke
"O child that comes
From My womb
I have sent to you
The rays of compassion
And the beauty of kindness.....
With that alone you shall think.....
Speak..... and Be.....
You shall with it lead the good
Protect the meek
And strengthen the weak
Until they have seen the morning
That shines with the perfect light
And when you have done that
Without any complaints
It is then that
You shall receive
Your very own......
Perfect day!"
I asked God,
"O Mighty One
That sees all.....
Knows all.....
And does all
To You I ask
"Can I receive
From You
Cupfuls of faith?"
The skies became dark.....
Thunder roared.....
The lightening flashed
And the fears within me arose.....
Then all of a sudden
I heard the word of prayer
From my soul......
The Lord spoke,"
O child that fears
The moments of darkness
I have sent to you
The boon of prayer......
And I shall test you
From time to time
Only so you can
See...... know and
Do My will
With the power
Of prayer
And the magic of faith.....
And whatever you shall receive
From it......
You shall give
To My children
That still fear the dark.....
You shall give to them the word of prayer
And when they shall rejoice in faith.and.....
You shall receive
Cupfuls of faith..... more to drink."
I wept as I all His gifts fell on my lap.....
I asked....
"O Holy One
That is so pure
I ask you
To be always with me.....
From the skies
I saw a light
The steps of heaven rolled
To where I stood.
The King of Kings
I saw come down
And in His hand
Was the gift
That I saw.....
And could not believe.....
"O child for who
I have built the heavens
I have come with my final gift of all.....
It is the heart of love
That shall make your soul
A home for Me.....
And each time
You shall carry My love
And use it
For the good
I shall be born
Within you
As the wave of joy....
And you alone shall know
That I am there..... always there.....
With you".
