What It Means To Draw Breath

My friend, may your joy be full and your heart be glad,
as you had a vision that reached up past the sky.
In your vision which was divinely given, stairs appeared 
to come down from the heavens,
a circular, stone stair case, rails not included.
Then who do you see? Why it is our Lord walking down 
the stairs.  You are on the stairway with Him... then He bids you
 to look all around you at the sea of broken humanity.
So many of His children who are in such want and need, ones 
who have given up on what it means to draw breath.
Then the Lord said to you my dear friend, that He does not 
like to see cowardice in His people, and that you must let them 
know that the Lord still loves them so.
That might have been where the vision ended but it is where 
your journey must start.
To go out in obedience, expressing to the lost, His lost sheep 
all that our Lord has placed upon your heart.  So that His people 
will gain courage to rise and learn to walk again with the surety 
of His presence which is always with them!
