Poem from "My Best Friend"

WHEN YOU FEEL YOU CAN NO LONGER ENDURE

I came to Jehovah on bended knee
to tell of the persecution that had befallen me
I said to Jehovah, "I Can't take Anymore,
Please bring soon, your great day of war!"
I endure and endure, I'm at the end of my rope.
I don't think with much more of this I can cope.
It's constant pressure both day and night,
between the World and Satan, I don't see much light.
Jehovah was silent as He could be.
As I rattled on with what bothered me,
He lovingly listened as I emptied my head,
then softly smiled before He said,
"I understand what your going through,
this time of the end makes it harder on you.
But you see, I have been waiting oh so long,
and I must make sure my people are strong.
Since the very first couple, Adam and Eve,
My heart has been constantly made to grieve.
I sent my most precious Son to die,
He took a deep breath, and then he sighed,
I have been pushed aside by those I love,
for other gods they put high above.
I have been denied to exist at all,
by those who claimed to have evolved.
I do not wish you to suffer or cry,
and I'll never leave you, on that you can rely.
You will endure more than you can,
I will be there always to guide your hand.
The Kingdom is for those who endure to the end.
I am Jehovah, my rules I do not bend.
I know its not easy all around the Globe.
But please, just think of my faithful servant, Job.
For his persecution he never knew why,
yet in his weakest moment, he did not me deny.
You know the reasons, and yet you complain.
Be glad you have been chosen to bear my name.
Not all will be as privileged as you have been.
" Then he said with a heart warming grin,
"Just Preach and Endure all you can,
and if you get scared, reach out and take my hand.
I'll guide and direct you, just draw close to me.
The end is too close now, please don't turn you back on me."
I felt so ashamed, I wanted to Cry.
Didn't I once say,
When I was baptized, was not this what I meant?
And I remembered my promise... To follow in the footsteps of the Son that he sent
