                    The Wheat of Heaven
Taken from the stalk of Calvary
Placed within the dark, cold earth
Silent lies the Wheat of heaven 
There to wait resurrection birth
Left alone in fragrant seed coat
Till the time had come to pass
It would soon give way to victory
Life eternal sprang forth at last

                    [042]  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – CHRIST IN ME AND I IN HIM
I meant this to be a personal, yet touching poem.  The title – Christ in me and I in Him” can be taken as a one-way dialogue between two people, the Lord and me.  I am sharing with my Saviour the thoughts in my mind.  (A personal chat).

                    One of England’s finest preachers was C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892). Frequently during his ministry he was plunged into severe depression, due in part to gout but also for other reasons. In a biography of the "prince of preachers", Arnold Dallimore wrote, "What he suffered in those times of darkness we
