The Package

The angel was sent from the throneroom of God
With a package from Him to deliver.

Wrapped in red - tied with gold
and stamped with the letters
UPF.

The directions were clear the angel was told
"Do not allow them to stop you."

As he started his journey
it seemed very soon -

That he found himself caught
in a battle.

This was to close to the Heavenly gates
so the enemys' power was weakened.

Before very long the messenger's sword was
able to finish the battle.

He traveled on with the package in tact
the
UPF virtually glowing.

But then there they were attacking again
in their effort to make him give up.

The nearer he got to the journeys end
the more vicious and strong was the conflict.

He battled so hard and furiously fought
each time the demons defeating!

Though weary of fighting the terrible foe
he was on one of God's holy missions.

He would not give up and so on he went
to accomplish the task he was given.

Through so much pain and so many attacks
the angel had finally come -

To the door of the house
where the package belonged,
the package marked

URGENTLY PRAYED FOR!

Now look at the angel who's fought all the way
to deliver the answer from God.

And look at the person who prayed for it so -
so close, oh so close to receiving.

Will he reach out his hand
in thanksgiving and praise.

Will he turn away blind
and unseeing.

Will he say to the angel
"Oh thanks, I just can't,
I'm not good enough, can't you see?"

The angel explained as he looked in the eyes
of this person who's need could be met -

"This package was sent
from the throneroom of God -
The moment He heard your voice call Him."

"Its wrapped in the red
of your dear Savior's blood
and tied with the gold of His Love."

"Its yours to receive - it has been sent to you
read the card."

"from Father, with Love".
