I am my Beloved's...

How beautiful the intricacy in which relationships are formed! How challenging. The words we use are poorly chosen and the already fragile bond is stretched to a meager thread. That which unites us might be a strong sentiment, cause or commitment, but the force that threatens many a time seems stronger still. How to protect such a treasured jewel? It is impossible to hold tight or hide away from the dangers that surround it. Such suffocation would cause its demise! O to know the One who can teach us to protect, love and set free, that as we taste such beauty we might be able to let go and receive.
