He Spoke To Me One day I talked to God about the pain that I was feeling. I asked him to give me peace and asked him for his healing. For many years, I dealt with pain, mistakes, guilt and doubt. I prayed dear God, please help me figure this all out. The answer that I received no one else could hear. I just knew that the Prince of Peace was standing very near. I felt his arm around me and knew that he was there. He said, my child in all good time, I will answer every prayer. For now, you need to learn to trust and lean on me. For I am strong and will carry your load of all that's going to be. I said, dear Lord why is it so that I must hurt this way? His reply was, my child I will answer all some day. You must trust in me and know I'm there with you. And that my love is always constant and it's always true. He told me let go of the pain and guilt, that's all you have to do. For I died upon the cross for people just like you. To take away their guilt and fear and carry all life's woes. I didn't need to tell him all, for he already knows. So until I meet him face to face, there's one thing that I feel. He is there for others and for me, to comfort and to heal. Life will hand me many ills as I pass along it's path. But one sweet day, the Lord will take me home and I'll know peace at last. Avis Fishel Perry
