The question was asked of the Lord:

Where have all the people gone and why?

No-one will miss me I'm not important - Dear child of God you are important to me - I long for your presence in my house - I long to hear your voice lifted in praise and your head bowed in worship, in fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ.

But Lord I have other things to see to first - my family - my rest - my aunties. Child put me first and the cares of your family - your weary spirit - your concerns leave them in my hands - I will give you rest.

Follow me - first let me bury my father.

I see our church - with the flames of God's power and love pouring out of the windows - around in the houses are many torches alight and glowing - but some are getting very dim - some have gone out - they need to be rekindled.

Luke 8: 5 - 8 & 11 - 15
