Gabriel On The Moon (12 ratings)
         by Roger Born
Page 5 of 5

When God calls his name, Gabriel is going to do the command performance of his career! He is going to pick it up and BLOW like he has never blown before! The heavens and the earth are going to shake, rattle, and roll with the sound of his trumpet, for it will be the last Trump! The sun will become black as night, and the moon will be as red as blood. The elements are going to melt with fervent heat and great noise, as God rolls Creation up as a scroll! One other thing will occur then, as he blows his horn. Everyone in the graves and in the sea will rise up alive to meet their Creator!

- - After all of that is over, and after Judgment Day is passed - - After God creates a new Heavens and Earth for Man to live on with all the rest of his Creation - - Lets you and me go into that great City of God, and there we can go for a stroll. It won't be hard to find that little corner place where Gabriel and his Seven Cool Cats are playing.

You and me can go into that little place and listen to Gabe blow his horn. We won't fear that his blowing will be too loud, for the New Earth is built of much stronger and more lasting stuff than that old, shadowy world we lived on was made of. You just know that his music won't cause any troubles in THAT place!

After he is through playing, you know what I want to do? I want to go up to Gabriel, and say, "Hey Gab! Can I hold your horn for a while?"

-------------------

The moral? Well, if there is one, it is that God created each of us with wonderful and unique gifts and abilities, which we can use to do good to others, and to praise him with. Gabriel, like some of us, just needed some time to practice at it, so that he could get to be world-class! Therefore, don't you neglect the gift that is in you, for with some time, and some polish, you will get to be a world-class act yourself, just as God created you to be!

(the real moral? Yeah, there is one. God loves you and his love for you is unconditional and without repentance. He wants very much to have a real relationship with you in every way that he has it with Gabriel. Once you can look at him that way, you will find true love, acceptance, forgiveness and repentance with him.)

Be well, -- and behave!
