A Dialogue Between Love & Beloved

Love, why are you so hard to find?
Beloved, why do you look so hard for me when I am with you?
Love, if you are with me, why must I cry out to you before you do anything?
Beloved, have you ever asked me to do something, that I did not do?
Love, if you will help me, why do you take so long to come?
Beloved, remember what happened has happened when I came before?
Love, but you didn’t do what I expected you to!
Beloved, nor did you honor me as Love.
If you are Love, why did you not defend me?
Did you listen to what I had said?
I submitted to you already, Love, and you did nothing to save me from harm!
Did I not suffer with you?
But why must I suffer?
Why do you make me suffer?
Love, I hate you!
Beloved, you are my only beloved.
I will abandon you!
I hate divorce.
I curse you, Love!
And so Love was rejected. The life of Love was spilled out and spread through all the earth, so great was the life of Love. After many years, Love invited the Beloved home, and kept her chaste in his Castle. At last, she will cry out, in the midst of her enemies:
Love, I need you I cannot live another Day without You!
And Love will meet her. What a rapturous moment that will be, when Love and Beloved shall meet and all the earth shall come together to celebrate their love forever. Words cannot describe such joy, so I will leave you to dream with me of such glory.

Bear One Another’s Burdens

Oh, how I wish that I could hear your cries,
and wipe the tears from both your glist’ning eyes:
As if by listening, calm your aching sighs,
As if to mourn for every death you’ve died.

I’d want to take away a bit of pain and hurt
and wash away from wounds the stinging dirt.
And then make known the Father’s worth,
His love, and how He gives you noble birth.

We’ll trust Jesus for healing that will come
and thank Him for the victory that He’s won.
The Spirit helps us in the race we run
and guides us to the Kingdom of the Son.

We bear each other’s burdens: laws are kept-
For we have shared the loss for which we’ve wept.
