A DUST TO ELIZABETH<\/font><\/strong>
\n\tRay Waugh, Jr.©<\/font><\/p>\n

Dear Elizabeth:<\/font><\/p>\n

Have you never walked the field(s) alone?<\/font><\/p>\n

I find myself alone. Especially, tonight!
\n\t    Alone, for the past is gone.
\n\t      Alone, for the future is not yet.<\/font><\/p>\n

Who can catch the
\n\t    "fast fleeting moment" of the present?<\/font><\/p>\n

"Follow!" "Follow" . . . When He spoke our names
\n\t    did He demand that we follow?<\/font><\/p>\n

Does Love require the loved to follow?
\n\tHow Love longs . . . How Love hopes . . .<\/font><\/p>\n

If we sometimes feel alone, Are we truly alone?<\/font><\/p>\n

God in Hebrews 13 assures us that,<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

"I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
\n\t\tSo that we may boldly say,
\n\t\tThe Lord is my helper, and I will not fear
\n\t\tWhat man shall do unto me."<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Christ's love for us
\n\t     is beyond our mortal understanding . . .<\/font><\/p>\n

If we feel alone, what deep agony Christ must have
\n\t     felt as He lived among men.<\/font><\/p>\n

For Christ to Love you and me 
\n\t    He had to be alone.
\n\t        He had to walk alone.
\n\t          He had to stand alone.
\n\t            He had to hang alone.<\/font><\/p>\n

He alone makes us not alone . . . 
\n\t    He alone is the very foundation of 
\n\t        the end of man's searching.<\/font><\/p>\n

THE VERY ESSENCE OF GOD'S LOVE!<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n
