When he was a younger man,
not much mattered but his anger.
As the years softened him,
he began to mellow in that special love.
He dealt with the constant of Gods timing
here on earth,out of necessity.
His life repeated itself through his children.
One day he uttered his prayer to his God,
the most important ever he spoke.
“Lord if you find me at all worthy,
do not let me sleep,
But to come to you in the translation of your church”?
He feels through his obedience and love,
God will honour his prayer .
As Moses had a need to see Gods face,
like Elishas desire for his double portion.
So to,Stephen and our Christ:
as they forgave mankind the Sins of Murder;
for the deep,deep love of God their Father.
The wind bloweth where it listeth,and thou
hearest the sound thereof,but canst not tell whence
it cometh,and whither it goeth: so is every one
that is born of the Spirit.
“But beloved,be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering
to us-ward,not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:8,9
