Smile Once Again
Smile once again
For me
And my glory.
Child of destiny,
I remember when you
Were so happy
And so secure
Enjoying beauty and grace.
You were dazzling and lovely,
Decorated and crowned,
Swirling in the arms of love and mercy
Dancing with Angels
Eating with me.
Yes,
You ate at my chest
In my inner chamber
And courts
And I fed you with golden love
And drips of honey mixed with
Tender mercy and loving kindness.
Love overpowered you
And you called me darling
And sweetheart
As we became one
In worship.
You inhaled my breath
And became intoxicated with my
Fragrance and glory.
You danced for me
And never stopped
Because I was your joy
And constant delight.
I watched you dance and dance
And your dance of glory
Pleased me greatly.
Your new name became
Cherished
Treasured
And beloved
You never stopped muttering
Words of love and worship
To me
Your bridegroom and beloved.
What happened my child?
What happened?
You fell and lost touch
With my glorious presence.
There you are,
Sitting in the mud
By the village square
With your left hand
On your chin.
In your eyes
Your sorrow shows.
You are
Unhappy and defeated
Lost and tired.
I see you
Sighing and confused
Longing and dreaming
Wishing and hoping
For the treasures that
You lost.
Your face has a constant deep frown
Masked with dejection.
Your tears are blood and sorrow
And your gown is stained, rumpled and grey.
You lost your sparkling embroidered
White garment
And it seems like
All hope of finding it
Is gone.
Your make up is dust and ashes
You look rejected
And dejected
Lacking in luster
And beauty.
All who pass by you
Wonder at your calamity
Of beauty to ashes.
They shake their heads
In great amazement
And disbelief.
My beloved,
Rise up from that mud
And dirt
And shine once again.
Reconnect with me.
Start digging again,
And watch the biggest smile
Take over your face.
Smile once again,
My love
Smile for me
And my father
Because you are
Greatly loved and treasured.

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Song of Solomon 8:6

Thanks
I liked this post, Laura because it talks about us as Christians and how we were once wrapped in God’s love and mercy before we became tainted and stained with the sin that now covered our once white clothes. What I also liked about the post was that it spoke from Jesus’s perspective about how we have fallen.
However, near the end of the post, I liked that Jesus is telling us to get up and start again. It’s because He loves us so much that He wants all of us to rise up from the sin that we are in and become reconnected with Him.
Thanks a lot for the insightful and lovely comment. I’m glad you like it. So true, it’s all about Jesus talking to us from His perspective about how we have fallen and Him encouraging us to rise up and reconnect back with Him. I really like your summary. It presents such a clear picture that I am able to see the post deeper than before. Thank you so much and God bless.❤️🙏😊
