Once upon a time there was a woman called lonely.... Her desperate search for love led her to places that were not her intention. Down the river of tears to the valley of humiliation. Through the endless plains of depression to the field of shame. Deeper and deeper inside of herself she went until she could no longer see the forest of joy that was set before her, so distracted was she by the trees of her own desires.
Most times she comes to a place called BLAME where she struggled to find the source of her senseless mistakes. There are times where she felt she had been walking in circles, as she had visited this place called "blame" so often... Then a sweet still voice would call, "continue to travel until you find the answer to your dreams, it is close at hand"..
Onward she traveled, sometimes believing she has gotten to her climate only to discover that it was a mirage. On and on she went. Sometimes running, sometimes walking, sometimes struggling to put one foot in front of the other...until she faced a dead end...
Realizing she had come to the end of herself, she finally looked up and from the hills, her help came. Strong and gentle, lifting her out of the abyss of her own loneliness. She finally realize she was right back where she had started looking........ Into the eyes of the one who had always loved her.
"Where have you been?" He said, already knowing the answer.
"Looking for love, "she replied.
"I am He, "the stranger answered.
"You look so familiar, "she said, searching the recesses of her heart for a remembrance of the day and the time when they first met.
"I have always known you and loved you.
His smile haunted her and stirred sweet feelings within. "What is your name? He gently whispered.
My name is....... My name is.... " her voice trailed off as she forgot herself, so caught up in him was she. The longing was gone replaced by his all consuming love. The memory of who she had been in him, long before she became distracted by other lovers and empty promises, returned. Catching her reflection in his eyes, her answer was music to her own ears. "My name is beloved ," she said...... To be continued..
