The Mystery Of The Cross

Chapter 9

After Levi could cry no more, Brian led her back to the the church, just in time to go to the burial site. Brian insisted that Levi ride with him. There was no way he was going to let her out of his sight. It was strange shareing a car with your bully, but Levi was thankful that she did have to drive by herself. It was a quiet drive, but then again there was nothing to say.

When Brian parked, he helped Levi out of the car. Leading her to the bariul site, he saw more tears forming. Right then and there Brian swore he would never let anyone become an outcast.

Brian brought Levi home and help her to the door. It was then that he saw her self inflicted wounds on her her wrists.

"What have I done?" He thought. "I can't believe I hurt her so bad."

"Thank you for bringing me home" Levi told him.

" Anytime" Brian responded.

Later that night, Brian felt the urge to start praying. So he got down on his knees and didn't stop.

Levi was throw stuff around her room when she grabbed the Bible that Mathew had given her. She paused and opened the cover and read the iscripton. To Levi , May you discover the mystery of the cross. Levi started yelling all sorts of profanity at God and begging him to end her. She then fell to her knees and started sobbing hysterically. After about and hour or so, a light started to fill her room.

Levi, why are you crying for me? She looked up and Mathew was standing right in front of her.

" I miss you so much. Why did you have to die?"

Everyone has to die Levi. Even Jesus did.

" please come back Mathew, I can't lose you."

Don't worries Levi. I will never be truly gone. I will be watching over you from heaven

Levi saw another light appear and Mathew walked towards it.

Come to me my child

" Who are you?" She asked

Who do you say I am?

" Your Jesus Christ. "

Then come to me my child.

Levi suddenly awoke. She realize that she had fallen asleep. Then she remember her dream. Levi got on her knees and prayed

" Lord, please forgive me. I've has said unspeakable things about you. I've refuse to acknowledge that you exist and I'm sorry. Please come into my heart Lord and fill me with your love. Amen."

Instantling Jesus filled her up and for the first time since Mathews death, she smiled. God works in mysterious ways.
