God Tells a Man

Siberian winter,
Pastor in prison,
Wife and children hungry.

God tells a man: go.
Man protests: may die.
God tells the man:
Don’t have to come back.
Just have to go.

Man went.
Wife and children saved.
Man returned
To tell this story.

Success not guaranteed.
Obedience required.

Humbly, I receive this lesson.
