One day in my mind’s eye

I peeked through a door

I saw a strange library

I had never seen before!

Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened attentively and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and esteem His name. Malachi 3:16

The books were about souls

The pages were alive

Each book was about a person!

Some souls had even died!

The books were not of opinions

Filled with careless words

The books were written perfectly

In the way God observed!

The books were about souls

Who lived now and in the past!

The books still lived on

Their words truly did last!

Meaning the words themselves

Did not vanish away

Like the books written now

That will disappear some day!

How souls had lived on earth…

Still effected the living ones

Even though, some had departed…

Their ripples were noted by the Son! (Jesus)

I took one book down

I opened the pages real quick

I didn’t want anyone seeing me

I wanted to read just a bit!

Suddenly I felt a hand!

A hand on top of this book

A voice said, “Stop!”

“You are forbidden to look!”

I wondered where my book was

Could I search for it now?

I remembered I was

Still living….

My book was being written

Right now!

If these books could speak now

What would they say to me?

Would they teach me new truths?

Would these facts, involve me?

“Yes, yes, yes!”

I heard

A whisper…

“These books are

Souls you have met!”

“Their paths merged with yours!”

“See? God didn’t forget!”

I stop and thought…

I truly was blown away

That each book had my name

Inside them

What did they all say?

As I ponder this now,

I realise a significant thing…

I am still writing my story

But my past ripples had wings!

These ripples spread out

Some were fearful

Some were sad

Some connected with others

Some made others truly glad!

God records our ripples

In a way we don’t understand

God sees how we affect each other

It’s part of HIS GREAT PLAN!

Our ripples are what we do

They are seen in a supernatural realm

Ripples are golden and treasured

When God is at the helm!

God’s ripples are pure

Like a child’s beautiful heart

You can help others grow

When you allow good ripples to start!

But the choice is up to you

You personally create the change

It starts with one small act of pure love

That’s done in Jesus’s name!

If you want God’s ripples,

Just act with heaven’s love

This will stop the impact

Of the negative ones

And you will see His healing love!
