SACRIFICE



MARKINGS OF THE RETURN ~ SACRIFICE

Look at My Countenance and you will see 
where your steady faith, your fortitude originates
You are My people and many of this world hate you
They want to extinguish you, as if you were a weed,
something other than a treasured people 
by the Most High God
Is it jealousy?
Why is their such contempt for those 
who I have called "chosen"?
Is it simply because I have set you apart unto Me?
The evil one desires, craves your death,
because you are to be My Pleasure,
My Trophy, My Honored Possession
So, he hunts you and drives you from land to land

"And too often when we haven't run, 
we have stayed to perish.  We have the millions
of martyrs to prove it."  Samuel Freedman

Not even 30 days have passed since the murder
of my faithful ones in India
A house set apart to feed, welcome and house my own
and yet, the darkness came and the darkness killed

Will you run My people?  Do you close up shop
and render the area as too difficult to conquer?
No, you rise.  You stay.  You shine the light 
once more.

"The response to darkness is bringing light.
Take the candle left to us by the Holtzbergs
and all those who perished in the massacre 
and use it to kindle our own flame and 
bring light into the world." Rabbi Wilhelm

"Chabad has already started showing
the rest of us how to be more than marytrs.  
The answer to death is life." Samuel Freedman

My people are sacrificed all the day long 
for the darkness is great
My people persevere and they "ride the storm"
of hatred with the simple gesture of light

Sacrifices are made; must be made to bring redemption
to turn the hearts of the unbroken 
and unbridled to the light
Those who are truly Mine will lay down
their lives for others
For you see, in this, the people will know
My Heart, the Heart of the Father

"You will arise and have mercy and
loving-kindness for Zion, for it is time
to have pity and compassion for her;
yes, the set time has come.
For Your servants take pleasure 
in the stones and show pity for her dust.
So the nations shall fear and worshipfully
revere the Name of the Lord, and all the kings
of the earth Your Glory.  When the Lord
builds up Zion, He will regard the plea
of the destitute and will not despise 
their prayer. Let this be recorded for the
generation yet unborn, that a people yet
to be created shall praise the Lord.
For He looked down from the height
of His Sanctuary, from Heaven did the Lord
behold the earth.  To hear the sighing
and groaning of the prisoner, to loose those
who are appointed to death.  So that men may
declare the Name of the Lord in Zion and
His praise in Jerusalem."
Psalm 102

"You have set up a banner for those
who fear and worshipfully revere You,
a standard displayed because of the Truth.
That Your beloved ones may be delivered,
save with Your Right Hand and answer us."
Psalm 60

And is not the Truth, the light for mankind?
Know the Truth
Know Me
Stay and shine the light, for the darkness
will one day cower and run
once your light is My Shekinah Glory
Stay and prove My Courage, My Strength,
My Dedication to man
Stay and love with My Love the wanderers
who have not yet found a home

We will be their home
