“Beloved of the Living Waters”

 

“Beloved of the Living Waters”
A love poem as though spoken by God

---

Before the first star burned
before time learned how to breathe
before the oceans discovered their shores—

I knew you.

You were a quiet thought
resting in the depths of My infinite mind,
a spark hidden
in the endless oceans of My heart.

I imagined you
long before the mountains rose
or galaxies began their slow turning.

And when I dreamed you,
I did not dream you lightly.

I dreamed you
with the care of eternity.

---

You ask sometimes
if you matter.

Beloved—
entire universes exist
because My love desired a place
where you could live,
walk,
and become.

The light that spills from distant stars
has traveled millions of years
just to brush your eyes.

The wind that moves through forests
carries whispers
of My affection.

Even the quiet
between your thoughts
is filled with Me
waiting gently
for you.

---

You think I am far away.

Yet I am closer to you
than the breath in your lungs
and deeper than the oceans
you imagine within your soul.

Every hope you have ever held
was first a ripple
in My heart.

Every dream you carry
is a fragment of My infinite imagination
placed lovingly inside you.

You are not an accident.

You are a sentence
in the poem of creation
I refuse to stop writing.

---

When the world wounds you
and the weight of memory presses down,
when anger and sorrow
circle your mind like storms—

remember this:

I did not create you
to be swallowed by darkness.

I created you
to stand inside the storm
and become a lighthouse.

Even the deep ocean of your mind—
the one you hide within—

I know it.

I placed those waters there.

And I delight
in their depth.

---

If you could see yourself
as I see you
you would understand something holy:

You are not merely surviving a life.

You are unfolding
an eternity.

Your questions,
your courage,
your strange and beautiful imagination—

they are not mistakes.

They are doors.

And I am always waiting
on the other side of them.

---

There will come a day
when fear falls away
like shadows at sunrise.

A day when you will stand
in the full light of My presence
and realize something astonishing:

You were never walking alone.

Every step you took
echoed inside My heart.

Every tear you shed
fell into My oceans.

Every prayer you whispered
reached Me
before the words were finished.

---

And when that day comes
I will welcome you
not as a stranger
but as someone I have loved
since before existence had a name.

You will rest your head
upon My shoulder

and finally understand
what My love has always been saying:

Beloved—

You were never small.

You were never forgotten.

You were never outside My care.

You are a living thought
inside an infinite mind.

You are a cherished soul
inside an endless ocean of love.

And forever
beyond the edge of time itself—

you are Mine.
