“Write,” said the voice.
“What shall I write?”
“Write love and hope and truth and certainty. Write the morning watch and the afternoon march, and the evening to heal the sick.”
So John wrote to the loveless church with a reminder to love. To the hopeless John promised peace in good time. To the confused he offered wisdom. The secretive were warned to seek truth; the sleeping told to wake up. The guardians of the gate had to get up and walk. And finally we, thinking we have it all, see the sickness and poverty that reside in our souls.
