I should like to share.

[Guest guest]

I had a dream last night and as such imply no authority but that

beyond the acknowledgment of a dream.

 

I stood alone in a battlefield where many were slain by my own hand.

My sword risen high to God glistened with a light that was so intense

that the sword hummed. It was at the end of a great battle and I alone

stood. Over the hills swarmed yet on more army. I could see that the

army was weak but the leader of the charge held a sword like mine. It

was black and to look at it cast fear into my heart. A voice, not mine

but inside me, said... "Go this battle belongs to me!" So I turned and

fled.

 

The army was in pursuit and chased me. My lungs were burning and I

tired. I ran as commanded until I found myself at the edge of a wide

and deep chasm. I slid to a stop and turned to face my pursuers that

close in like the wind. I took several steps away from the edge and

planned my assault on the final army that approached. I prepared

myself for battle. Then again I heard a voice "Go this battle belongs

to me." I cried out "But I have no place to go! I have not been given

direction." The army closed and my heart began to cower in fear of

this voice that told me to go. I knew naught but to fight darkness and

now that darkness came from within.

 

I managed to fight my way through the first few attacks but soon saw

that this battle was going to over power me. I turned and ran towards

the edge of the chasm then dove into the open arms of God. I stretched

open my arms as I fell. The illusion and delusion were gone and my

open eyes watched the rocks rush towards me.

 

Suddenly, I was an eagle and my wings spread wide and full and I

soared to the sky. I was free and the wind carried me to a place where

I knew that I would find rest. I saw a light and surged upwards

towards it.

 

Then, I turned to see what chance found the army that pursued me. They

were gone.

 

Instead, I saw you that I had slain.

 

Tears filled me and my heart cried out to God. "I can not be among you

if it is at the cost of those that I slain." I turned back towards the

earth and become the sword of light in your hands. I became the sword

of God. And, he fought the final battle in my name for all his glory

and the final victory was his and his alone.

 

Now, I am a man. I stand with you as one for I too, as you, shall bear

the weight of all until, as one and many, we may enter the opened

gates and find peace.

 

Regards.
