LETTER TO MY DARLING SELF
Dear Darling Self whom I love with the love of the Lord,
Do remain:
Affectionately amiable
Blooming beauteously blest
Championing care midst compassion
Depending on God Who is dearest Defender…
Enabled to encourage with enthusiasm
Fervently fueled for faith-filled flight
Geared, guarded by God’s grace
Hoisted with His helping hand…
Instructed against ignorance
Joyously jubilant, midst jokes or jeers
Kindled with kindness, keenly knowledgeable
Love by the Lord’s loving liberality while learning…
Maximizing miracles of the Mighty Master midst His mercy
Nourished by His nurturing nature as in Him nestle
Optimizing opportunities to offer with optimism
Propelled along peace-propped prayer.
Quiet despite quirks that question quests
Restored, replenished by the Redeemer’s revival
Studying Scriptures, sharing His salvation-settlement
Triumphant through tests and trials toward thanksgiving
Upheld unwavering, uplifted by His understanding that’s unlimited…
Victoriously vigilant while vanity, valiantly vanquishing
Watched by the Almighty along your weakness
Xenial along X-factor while xenacious
Young at heart yon yehey and yay
Zealously zestful…
I love you, myself, but God* Who knows who you are ~~~ loves you most…
*Jeremiah 31:3 - The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
