Healing
I will restore to you
the years
which the swarming locust
has eaten.
[Joel 2:25]
*************************
"I don't believe it.
Hey, LORD?"
[SILENCE.]
"Hmph! Figures!
He's probably on Pluto, again!"
"What is it, child?"
(oops.)
"You didn't hear that,
did'Ja, Lord?"
"I hear everything, child."
"Oops. Well, I thought You
were off, away aways, again."
"Never, My child."
"You couldn't even go to
Pluto anyway, Lord."
"Why, My precious?"
"'Cuz; it's not even a planet
anymore. Remember, Lord?
It's now a DWARF planet!"
"It is still Mine, child."
"Yeah, that's true.
Just like, I'm still Yours?"
[NOD.]
"There's not much there, Lord.
I think the locusts have eaten
everything."
"Not true, child."
"I don't BELIEVE You!"
"Child, Who Am I?"
"Eh.......well, uh, You're....
You know....."
"I'm listening, My beloved."
"Uh, You're the One Who
made me study Hebrew,
when I was kid?"
[NOD.]
"Why, child?"
"Eh.....'cuz, You wanted
to me to learn suffering,
EARLY?"
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
"Child, Who AM I?"
"LORD! Come on, I'm tired!
It's such a long STORY!
Uh, You know Who You are!"
"Yes. But do YOU, child?"
"I'm not sure. You know, Lord,
this whole business of finding
out about Pluto has been
very disappointing. All my life,
I thought it was a real planet.
Maybe You're not real, either!"
[PATIENT NOD.]
"And the locusts, child?"
"What about'em, Lord?
Don't we have ENOUGH
bugs, in San Antonio?
Oh.
You mean, about Joel 2?"
[NOD.]
"Well......it's a nice SAYING,
and all, but......"
"But, WHAT."
"Well.......maybe, You were
talkin' about somebody else,
is all."
"No, child.
I am talking to you!"
"REALLY? But, Lord!
You didn't even KNOW
me, back THEN!"
"Yes, I did, My precious."
"Hmph! I don't BELIEVE it.
And, why would You even
want to know me, NOW?
I'm half-eaten up by LOCUSTS!"
"That may be true, child.
But, you have forgotten
one thing."
(silence)
"What's THAT, Lord......"
"The other half is in My Hand."
******************************
The threshing floors
shall be full of grain,
the vats shall overflow
with wine and oil.
I will restore to you the years
which the swaming locust
has eaten........
You shall know......
that I, the Lord,
am your God
and there is none else.
[Joel 2:25-27]
