Beneath this blanket of love that we wove together are the threads of our intertwined life. With each word of endearment you whispered, a knot was tied. Your tender caresses added to the pattern of beauty. As the years passed, the threads multiplied, the knots strengthened and beauty became a display of wonder. Our oneness seemed irrevocable.
The Lover certainly outdid Himself when He brought us together.
Beneath this blanket of love that we wove together are the threads of our intertwined life. As the years passed, the threads have become worn, the knots have grown into hardened spurs and the beauty has become soiled. With each word of endearment you’ve whispered, it was with practiced ease and convincibility. She is tied to you by them as well. Your tender caresses added to the pattern of your infidelity, bringing her to a point of surrender and addiction. Just like me. The beauty displayed is that of duplicity. Your selfishness seems irrevocable.
The blanket that we wove together lies in the lap of the Lover. I’ve asked Him to untie the knots of deceit and unravel the threads of addiction. Beauty will be redeemed and will be a display of purity, of respect and of love. His mercy and grace are irrevocable.
The Lover is always true to Himself.
You write so beautifully – your prose flows together like music.
Thank you very much! I hope Shadows is a good place for you.
Dear fellow blogger,
10 years ago this week many people watched as airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center in downtown New York, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. Hundreds of innocents perished because of the hatred of a handful of people whom they had never met before.
Perhaps you know what it is like to suffer tragedy in your life even if you were not one of the many who lost family that day. Perhaps you feel like an airplane has crashed into your heart, and that your dreams and hopes have come crashing down. If that’s the case I do not claim to have answers for all the questions you may have. But I do know where you can find the hope you need. God can save you not only from being a victim of someone else’ hatred, but also from being a perpetrator. All people have been terrorized to some extent by those around them, and all people are guilty of terrorizing others. But God wants to both forgive you for your sins (2 Peter 3:9) and to give you a home in heaven where there will be no more pain (Revelation 21:4).
There is much in this world that is out of our control. We can never know ahead of time if someone may try to kill us, or if we will die by some natural means. But if we trust in Jesus for salvation we can be sure that we will spend eternity with God after we die (I John 5:13). That is because Jesus has already died for our sins (Romans 5:8-9). If you accept this free gift by believing and repenting you will be saved (Acts 17:30-31). But if you reject this gift you reject the only way to escape God’s wrath (II Thessalonians 1:7). God loves you, but He also loves the people you hurt, and He will avenge them by punishing you if you are too unfeeling too admit how much you have sinned against them.
Thanks for listening to my message. I hope that you have a peaceful week and that God will lead you to eternal peace of the soul.
Sincerely,
Dear Daniel,
Thank you for reading my blog. The post I wrote is about pain and betrayal, obviously. As indicated in more than one place in my blog, the stories that I post may not be autobiographical. The stories I post are often motivated by events in the lives of friends, events about which I read, a book I have read or even a song that I’ve heard.
Your words contain intense passion. Hopefully a reader will feel compassion and encouragement as well which, I am sure, you meant them to be. Hopefully, a reader will consider the plan of salvation as you meant to share it. May you find peace in this ten-year remembrance of a well-known incident. Acts of violence and hatred are as ancient as the Scripture from which you quote, is it not? Acts of violence and hatred are carried out throughout this small world everyday; ten years ago, America was introduced to a way of life that so many endure every day.
