The Lamb My Child

For those who stood by and watched. For those whose counsel was, "Keep your mouth shut." For those who chose judgment over understanding so they could remain comfortable in their own conclusions. You involved yourselves in what was never yours to possess. You approached the keeper of the lamb and whispered against the lamb. Truth was diluted, then reshaped it into something else. Yet I am called to pray for those who wrong me and my lamb. So I do. I pray that the voice in her own beauty you trusted for your truths remains close to you forever. May it sit at your table. May it influence your conversations. May it guide your life decisions. I pray the voice that led you here saturates all that you know and love. May the one who filled your hearts with imaginations and the guile to harm MY lamb receive abundantly more from the voice than I ever could because It is the only gift worthy to those who hid, participated and said to themselves not My problem.

So I took out the bat to punish myself, trying to fix all my flaws. I was trying to earn love— but it really wasn’t love at all. Pride fell, that’s for sure. Shame ruled. The lies conquered. And buried beneath what felt ...

Because I AM

Image
I will love you beyond tomorrow because I never thought I would have today. I will love you beyond your expectations because I am always open to exploring on your behalf. I will love you in the dark places and hold your hand until the light returns—because no one held mine. I will understand you when the world does not, because I will never find time to judge you. The exploration of who you are is a gift, not a curse. The discovery of your borders is a glorious crusade, journeying between light and dark. Your authenticity does not scare me; it magnifies me. I will accept what you offer, help heal what is wounded, embrace your thoughts and ideas, and support your gifts as we embark on strange new destinations. I will… because I love you. And because no one knew how to love me. So as I sit here embracing today, preparing for tomorrow, I will be your guard. I will be your faith. I will be what you need. Because I am you.
