He Saved Me!

PRAISE THE LORD! Hallelujah! "Scuse me", but I'm bragging.  I'm strutting!  I got the Holy Ghost! And you can't steal it.   You can't buy it and you sure can't criticize it.

I really didn't know.  How could I know, I was a child.  You ought to be ashamed of yourself.   You knew better.  Yes, you did!  Why did you hide it so cleverly if you didn't "know no bedder"?

" 'Cause you cunning."  You are cunning and vile.  Too bad you can't get an award for it.  You deserve an Academy award!  You are one brilliant actress and writer.  You are a brilliant comedienne.  The only person I ever met smarter or whittier was your father.  Granddaddy was the champion of "one-liners".

You sure fooled me. I never knew you hated him.  You hated him because he told you the truth.

He told you the truth gently, softly.  He never called you names.  He was too kind to you.  The truth is, he should have put you away.  I'm sorry, prison was the only place for you.

You are a criminal, a "smooth criminal".  You have no faith.  Your faith is just as fake as you are.  No trust,  you tried to be your own GOD.  It's funny, when you told me "honesty don' get you no where", I thought you were deliberately trying to lead me astray.  I didn't think you really believed that.  You called your daddy a fool for being so honest.  But, you went to him every month with your hand out.  You never gave him one gift, not even a pair of socks for Father's Day.  You mistreated you daddy and you know it.  A greedy, selfish, spoiled brat.

You have a bad habit of emasculating men.  But, you could never take his manhood.  Granddaddy got you told without cussing.  He was still too kind to you.  The fact he knew you , suffered you and never offered or tried to kill you, is evidence of the goodness of GOD. It is proof, he was saved, had the Holy Ghost.  He always believed in you.  He never gave up.  He prayed for you.  He was probably praying for you February 10, 1979, the morning you shot that frail old man through the heart.

I care!  Who are you to take someone's life?  Who are you to decide how long someone should live?  Or how they should live?  Or what they should have?  I can still hear you; "WHEN  YOU GON'  DIE OLD MAN!!!?"  You said it right in front of me!  You mistreated my grandfather right in front of me.  I was a grown woman!  I was twenty-seven years old.   Twenty-seven and beat down, bent down to the ground by you, my "mother".  I was "Ciele" and you were "Mister".

Do you really enjoy that? ...making people suffer.  Humiliating your "loved ones" over and over?  I don't get that?  That's not "Christian".  I don't care what you say.  Shut Up!  You always had a ready excuse of why you were right and the whole world was wrong.  You blame white people and racism for your "lack".  It's your character.  Blame your low character for your "lack".  Blame your deceit and cunning for your "lack".  Blame your extreme "whorishness" for your "lack".

You say I remember too much.  I always talked too much.  Who talks more than you,  "mouth almighty"?  Who remembers more than you?     "Daddy slapped a Nehi orange soda out my mouth when I wuz three years old 'cause some man bought fa me.  Daddy thought de man wuz trying to talk to mama.  I can still taste it.  Dat wuz the best orange drank I eva' had."

No you've never  been a gift giver.  No, you give away crap!  Laughing about giving XXXXX all that old food in your freezer.  Steaks and hamburger over six years old!  Woman you are hilarious!

I'll never forget.  You had me driving a car with no brakes for months.  Your hunch was right.  I lost control of the car in a rain storm.  That was GOD that rescued me from the path of that eighteen wheeler.

Why didn't you ever catch on?  Cunning won't get it baby.  You need Jesus.  "Apart from Christ you are nothing."  It is still true.  It will always be true.  There is no short cut.  A demon as smart as you are can't fool GOD.  You will never win.

And the truth is , the only people you can deceive are people of like mind.  People with weak faith, low intelligence or "under educated".  People out of the "arc of safety".

I'm so happy!  I look back over my life and I am in awe!  GOD blessed me and saved me from the likes of you.

No, that "preaching" won't save you.  Faith and truth, that's what you need.  Do you want it?

Stay in His WORD children.  Live right!
GOD will protect you from your enemies.  He will deliver you just like He said.

May GOD's Grace, Mercy and Peace engulf you, cloak you and keep you in Perfect Peace,
Rachel
