I DREAMED A DREAM LAST NIGHT

      I dreamed a dream last night, and in it, Gayle loved me and sincerely sought me. I loved him too, and could not tell him otherwise. It was just like an eighth of a piece of reality. But I wanted to hold on to it. I realized I had never really received this kind of deep desire from him before. And I responded with the same. Oh, how I wanted to hold on to this moment.
      It was like a taste of glory. The true way that love should be. I couldn’t help but wonder if somewhere, wherever he was, he might be having the same dream! Oh, it felt so good and so fulfilling.
      Then I remember the letter I had sent to Sky (my grandson) about the Faith Zone, asking him to remind me to walk in the Faith Zone. That area between WHAT IS and WHAT OUGHT TO BE. The “ought to be” being God’s will done on earth as it is in Heaven.
      A little earlier SIN had launched an outside attack on me when I had begun to cry and say, “Lord, it’s not fair for other women to have their husbands who love them and I don’t have mine. I am just half of a couple and half is not good enough. It isn’t fair that I’m suppose to love my husband the first half of my live and then be expected to stop loving him the second half.”
      No, I didn’t see it as an OUTSIDE attack until a little later during my continued conversation with the Lord…but I am learning to catch on sooner.
      It always comes back to that. Then God turns these attacks around and uses them for good.
      “Lord, I love you so much,” I cried. And Lord, I love Gayle so much, too.”
      “Yes, I know you do, Gwen. And that’s okay. The world tells you to stop loving him, but I know you can’t. How could I ask you to do that?
      “Remember you said you wanted to know Me better?
      “The way you feel about your husband, is the way I love the world. I can’t stop loving the world. I am LOVE. I gave My Son for the world. You only gave a part of your life for Gayle…a mere 45 years. My Gift is for many and for much longer…eternity.”
      Now, go and meet Sugar for lunch. I’ll supply the conversation. I love her so much, just like you do.
      And remember:

WALK IN THE FAITH ZONE
(that area between)

WHAT IS and WHAT SHOULD BE
