Prologue to 'A Tale Of Three Kings' by G. Edwards....

  THE ALMIGHTY, living God turned to Gabriel and gave a command.
    "Go, take these two portions of my being. There are two destinies waiting. To each unborn destiny give one portion of myself."
  Carrying two glowing, pulsating lights of Life, Gabriel opened into the realm between two universes and disappeared. He stepped into the Mall of Unborn Destinies.
  Gabriel spoke: "I have here two portions of the nature of God. The first is the very cloth of his nature. When wrapped about you, it clothes you with the breath of God. As water surrounds a person in the sea, so will his very breath envelop you. With this, the divine breath, you will have His power- power to subdue armies, shame the enemies of God, and accomplish His work on the earth. Here is the power of God as a gift. Here is immersion into the spirit."
  A destiny stepped forward: "This portion of God is for me."
  "True," replied the angel. "And remember, whoever receives such great power will surely be known by many. Ere your earthly pilgrimage is done, your true character will be known; yea, it will be revealed by means of this power. Such is the destiny of all who want and wield this portion, for it touches only the outer person, affecting the inner person not one whit. Outer power will always unveil the inner resources or the lack thereof."
  The first destined one received the gift and stepped back.
  Gabriel spoke again.
  "I have here the second of two elements of the living God. This is not a gift but an inheritance. A gift is worn on the outer person; an inheritance is planted deep inside- like a seed. Yet, even though it is such a small planting, this planting grows and, fills all the inner person."
  Another destiny stepped forward. "I believe this element is to be mine for my earthly pilgrimage."
  "True," responded the angel again. "I must tell you that what has been given to you is a glorious thing- the only element in the universe that can change the human heart. Yet even this element of God cannot accomplish its task nor grow and fill your entire inner being unless it is compounded well. It must be mixed lavishly with pain, sorrow, and crushing."
  The second destined one received the inheritance and stepped back.
  Beside Gabriel sat the angel Recorder. He dutifully entered into his ledger the record of the two destinies.
  "And who shall these destinies become after they go through the door to the visible universe?" asked the Recorder.
  Gabriel replied softly, "Each, in his time, shall be king."

A word on my current state...

  First off, I want to state that I am a FOLLOWER of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I stress follower because I did not choose this for myself. HE chose me. I once believed that the bible was either a confusiistic metaphor or creative myth. I now know that it IS truth. Christ is real AND alive! I dont believe this... I KNOW this. I can not prove this, so don't ask me to. There is only one who can prove this to you and He wants YOU to know Him. He IS the way, the truth and the light. He IS the redeemer. He IS the king of kings and the lord of lords. He IS the word through which all things were made and consist. He gave His life so that YOU might live and live abundantly. HE LOVES YOU!!! He IS..... JESUS CHRIST!!!

An all new life
