The Calling

as I walked down the unlit street I saw a candle lit in a window. like a lighthouse, leading and guiding the ships in the dark of night. so was this flicker of light. it brought me to this window in a chapel and the stained glass of my lord CHRIST on the cross. as I looked upon his picture 'a thought did enter my mind'. why was CHRIST facing out? instead of in for all the congregation to see. that's when I realized that he was calling to me. calling for me to come inside for I had so much to hide. as I walked to this chapel, I saw it had twelve steps to get to the top. I knew then I could not stop. each step had the face of one of the apostles. and each apostle greeting me in a different way and they all had something to say. by the time I reached the top of the stairs I realized that I had no worries or cares. for each one had cleansed me in such a way that I knew this was where I had to stay. I had to follow the LORDS teachings and to help others find the way because there is so many who had gone astray. I entered this chapel, and a choir of angels all sang on high the voices piercing the deepest sky. as I looked towards the pulpit I saw a figure standing there beckoning me to come closer. I saw his arms stretched to his sides and he said: this is where I abide give your body and soul to me for I am the CHRIST, I will set you free. I did-I do-I am I did- give myself to him I do -his bidding I am- set free.
