A Call to Arms

So she says to him: "I want to be beautiful, just for you." Then he said to her: "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the one bringing good news, the one proclaiming Peace..." She looks down at her bare feet. They will need new hiking boots, stronger legs, the will to get up and meet head on, this message given direct, no dregs for her or humanity... Downcast, she murmurs: " I am speechless. " He replies:" Yet you are not dumb. And I am not blind. Raise your head. Look up to Me." She sees eternal stars twinkle in the eyes of the Beholder... Feels warm strength in the arms of the Great Shepherd, as he lifts her up from self harm - Self doubt needs his healing hands, individual help in the herd. Calm, He says to her: " One day you will walk well- on your own two feet. Meanwhile, I am here to catch you when you fear, stumble, fall, retreat. This is our Beautiful Battle! I am your Teacher, your Leader - Well-Trained in the Streets." Aqua Marine. Posted September 2024. Isaiah 52:7 Acts 8:4 Romans 10:15 Ephesians 6:14,15
