The breath of living water and the serenity that calms and soothes... I ponder and soak in these things as it washes over my heart. To swim in these waters with him forever is my need, to wonder at the beauty of it's brilliance is my cry. And I hear a voice in my soul to pick up my pen once again and in a dream I have gone.
I stand in a place I know not and yet as if my soul has always known, familiar is this place but I cannot recall it. A lush garden of flowers more vibrant than I knew they could ever be, a dield of blades deep green and softer than silk on my feet. A river of honey glimmering in the light of the sun, a pond of water that shines with life and trees of abundance bearing such fruits I have never seen. My tongue waters and my eyes are stunned, to taste the fruits which these beautiful trees show in pride... and yet I hesitate for my soul knows to taste even on drop of their juices then to crave anything on earth would be no more.
And in in instant as a flash of lighting I am standing before the king, he beckons me to sit with him and be still.
As we sit together he pulls out fine looking oils, fragrances and spices and lavender, With a gentle hand he adorns me with each one with such care and love in his doing. I look into his gentle loving eyes and protest and he stops to listen and I speak. My Lord says I please do not for I am not worthy, it is you that must be delighted with such things by my hand your servant, For you are my beloved and cherished one and my betrothed to be.
The king stares for only a minute and laughs a hearty and playful laugh as if I said something that amused him, he sees my confused eyes and speaks. My child, my dear child why do you think I do this? Have you forgotten about the wedding of the lamb? He spoke this with such joy in his words and my heart races, my soul jumps higher than the moon inside me.
Come he says to me, let me show you and together hand in hand we walk. And then as it were before me a place of wonder, a wedding of the most brilliance and beauty achor of hundreds of thousands singing with such lovely songs. A table of magnitude adorned with such abundance of fine food and drinks, the angels as they bustle about with excitement praise the father for the groom has his bride at last.
. And I hear bells begin to ring and I look around to find the source of such a sound, for my ears have never heard a sound of such beauty which I could not describe with all the knowledge my tongue. They were as if his love and heart were a sound itself, the sound they rang pierced my heart and so so greatly that I lost my strength and fell upon my knees. My eyes were as an ocean from the beauty I have heard as each ring would vibrate all throughout my body I could feel every cell within me singing praise.
The king lifts me up in his arms as a small child and holds me dearly, the absolute warmth and love of his arms fills my entire core and he looks at me with such tender eyes and such deep love. I speak not for I can only stare as I gaze and am lost in his eyes a vast sea and ocean of his love am I lost in I sink gladly into the vast waters. I sink deeper and deeper and astonished at the deph and vastness of these waters that is his heart I eagerly swim deeper and deeper.
Finally I am again in his arms and the joy and excitement of the wedding fills the air, a sudden burst of readiness is all around and he speaks to me yet again still holding my small childlike form and speaks.
Now wake and be eager for the wedding is here, go and speak what you have seen for I have spoken this to you to be my voice to my children.
I protest yet again, But Lord I am afraid. For I know whosoever dares to even speak such things is hated and ridiculed. For I am not a prophet and I am unworthy to be so. Again my beloved speaks and says have I not told you do not fear for I am with you? You are as you are just as I am that I am, the wedding is soon to begin and such wonders as you have seen must be made known. For my bride eagerly await and are growing weary, so wake and pick up your pen and let my childrens heart hear the chimes of the wedding bells.
