HEALING GARDENS: Marriage (6)

In the dead of night
He swept, gently, into my garden
His fragrance was
~Manna~
I invited Him in
As the Healing Angels
Sung "Holy, HOLY...
      is the LORD God Almighty."

He laid out peace in my bed
And covered my naked head
Claiming me as His own
He put a ring on my finger
Told me He could not linger
He was leaving to build me a home

I was given a task for the end of time
To expose and conquer fears that twist and bind
Me to this world
A promise to return and a passion for my love
With Heavenly Host from above
To aid His little girl

LOVE NEVER FAILS

As He left, a seal was placed on my door
So that I could work in peace, digging deep into my garden floor

...seriously!

Why would I believe I'm ugly
Why would I believe I'm evil
I'm wrong
I caused good men to do wicked things
I'm undesirable
No ONE wants me
I'm rejected, despised
I'm......alone
I'm, unlovable

I lie on the dirt
Deep in my wide pit
Crying tears of sorrow
In a tired, angry fit

My love came, and found me
Reaching down to lift me out
Gave me a seed of  "hope"
As I surrendered to Him, my doubt

We planted the seed together
And filled the pit with soil
He took out a lamp
And poured out His oil

Over the seed, and over me
Saying, "Never give up hope."
My Love is made to soar
Never grovel and grope

....for answers

Many visits, from my Love
Came through the years of preparation
Careful to give oil and fire
To build my anticipation

....for our marriage

Why would anyone be married to LOVE
There is no natural reason
His ways are far above mine
In all times and in every season

During the work in the Healing Gardens
I came to understand
That fear claimed Eden's Land
And LOVE has won it back, in me
