Cowboy Wes

Reflections from the Heart of Allan Redenius
Once upon a time in the wild, wild west, there was a cowboy whose name was Wes.  A man of stature, 5’ 2” was his frame.  A 10-gallon hat covered him, head to toe.  In fact, his hat was his home.  Faster than the wind, a gallant steed did he ride.  A six shooter he wore at his side.
 
So, you're wondering who this cowboy might be, so small in stature.  No one would suspect that his voice is like the sound of thunder.  What he said was always so true, bold and brave.  Though a tiny cowboy, everyone respected him for his thundering voice which spoke only the truth of Jesus.
 
This was the cowboy’s message; this is what he would say.  “To you the sinner, the only part of salvation in which you participated is your sin from birth.  Repent and change your ways for a Man from above has bought you at a price you cannot afford to pay.  The price you ask, His blood.  The hat I wear, the steed I ride, the gun at my side, all, only for show to gain your attention.  Now that I have it, let me quite simply say, Jesus saves!  Nothing you can do, nothing you can say will measure up to what Christ did for you on Calvary's hill long ago on that Good Friday.  He could have called ten thousand angels to save Himself, but He chose to die in your place.  He died so you might live.  Now you can say, ‘No, I don't want Him.’ Should that be your choice, small that I might be, I say to you so you might hear.  What a fool you are!  Heaven will not be your home.  Do not fear the death that approaches all too soon for you.  Fear the second death that follows.  The fire of hell will be your forever home.  “My God's message delivered, now I must go and do another show. There are many more to hear, many more to be saved.  If you're wondering about the gun at my side, it's the power of God's Word with a bang.”
 
Love to all!
