"Do you know what you are? You are a manuscript
of a divine letter. You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. This 
universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything
you want, you are already that."   Rumi   

Do you ever wonder who you are?
Sometimes, we just can't find ourselves.
We are lost human being, undefined.
Especially in certain crisis times in our lives
Mid-life hits home very hard sometimes
Oh! The empty nest breaks our hearts.
Then sometimes in old age when___
Health goes south, sexuality gets lost. 
We realize that we are actually dying.
Our thinking faculty becomes slowed.
Or it is in and out making us realize.
We are the one coming down with the 
Dreaded illness__heaven forbid__dementia
Then with deep thinking__I realize that
I am a child of the King.

Indeed we are crafted just in the perfect way to wayd need Jesus and always revere him, look to him. Rightly so. We were created with the thoughtfulness of Eternity in mind. Christ was crowned again by your personal love and gratitude. He loves a heart that is humility powered. Purity. Royalty by His stripes. And of Our Heavenly Father, happy I am sure to have you retain your childlike obedience and zest. That is the real Eternal Youth/Spring. A Maiden with "oil in her lamp".

Jude, Yes, oil in the lamp and extra that awaits to be added to the lamp in case He doesn't come right away. Always being prepared for His return. Thanks for the kind and Spirit filled review of my work. Sara K
