Honored Guest

Honored Guest

 

Powder sugar coated fingers, jelly stains,

Muck and mire clinging tightly

Lie says, outside is where you need to remain

The door though is opened wide

He in majesty beckons in name

Hand in hand walking beside

As servant bent low bathing in gentle affirmation

Not just feet but face and fingers too

Calling forth to the celebration.

Sweeping into beloved daddy’s arms

Brought forth as honored guest

Safely ensconced, worldly life can cause no harm.

Though once again stumbling forth  into muddy hole

No strength of will to resist

Surely now the door will close

Yet still the beacon sounds

Enter here, water for washing ever supplied

Untarnished garment awaits with crown

 Come and dance, the call the same

Seventy times seven and forever more

The wiping away of shame

“Loved one”, continual access to Abba father

The invitation indelibly stamped in the son’s blood

Always and eternally beloved daughter

Belovedness

Belovedness

Treasured one, cherished and cared for

The place where you are seated in his heart

Loved never less only more

Bestowed from birth your belovedness

The earth has rubbed away the shine

And given names of otherness

 But this his assurance

His nature cannot else belie

By his atonement beloved transference

From this loved state,

Though often we try to deny,

You cannot escape

Belovedness is the gift

Your status never changing in his eyes

His Precious love do not resist

BE loved and love His Son

Then to others do impart,

Yahweh’s will to be done

Arise in this adoration

You are chosen by the Beloved

Bring now this belovedness to his creation

Romans 1:7

To all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 9:25

As He says also in Hosea, "I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, 'MY PEOPLE,' AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, 'BELOVED

Colossians 1:13

For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,
