What was I doing here? Why did I follow that man's instructions? Am I deceased?

I scrutinised the room and found the same lady playing the piano, but this time she softly sang a different melody in the library.

"Slowly

But surely he's returning

To take all His people

Back home where we belong

We are in this world but we don't belong

We are in this world to take up souls

Slowly

But surely

He will return return return

Don't give up now

He's almost coming back

He will return return return x2

Slowly but surely

He will return return return

Slowly

But surely

He will return x2

To his people

He will return return return-"

I had not yet seen her face and I was growing deeply distressed at the turn of events.

I paced from the entrance towards her and sat beside her. Her hair covered the side of her face so that I would not see her features.

I lifted my hand to sweep her hair behind her ear; Before I could complete what I had planned in my heart, the familiar voice of a Man startled me.

"What are you looking for?"

His voice held such supreme authority I could neither contradict nor ignore Him.

I turned back to the girl who was beside me. However, she had disappeared. This time, the piano had remained. So I turned back to the Man.

"The one who played the piano."

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you everything you need." (‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:31‬ ‭NLT‬‬)‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

"Why do you speak in such parables?" I questioned Him. But He did not answer me.

"Go to the library and read the book I revealed to you earlier.

There you will learn everything you need to know.

You will receive the Wisdom

I have prepared for you.

And once Understanding sees that you walk with Wisdom, she will accompany you.

Once Knowledge understands you walk with both Wisdom and Understanding,

she too will seek you.

Once Discernment notices that you are accompanied by Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge,

She too will also help you.

And finally, once Discretion

knows that you are with Wisdom,

Understanding, Knowledge and Discernment, Discretion will guide you.
