The Kindred of the Eternal

Behold, I send you a messenger,
a servant of my own calling,
one who is wise, and loving,
and strong,
one who will help you.

You need not know her name,
for, though in the flesh
shall you meet him,
he’s a spiritual impartation
of my love,
and truth,
and goodness.

Behold, I send you a guardian,
one who is near to myself,
one who is by your side
as you struggle for truth.

Be glad, take comfort,
for she watches
every move you make,
and shows you
when you have strayed. ›

He hovers over you
like an angel,
comforting like a mother,
tenderly caressing his babe,
his bosom full of the milk
of companionship
and courage,
her kisses full of comfort
and strength.

Behold, I send you a friend.
She will never betray you,
even in your darkest hour,
for she loves you with my love,
and keeps you in my power.
She will give her life
to save yours,
for she knows
she will see you again,
and is not afraid.

He will stand with you
in the evil hour,
his hand in your hand,
his face to your face,
as you suffer
for my sake.

Behold, I send you
a deliverer,
when you have given up
all hope,
to reach you
in your deepest darkness,
to lift you
out of resignation
with her encouraging voice,
always caring,
always watching,
always knowing
that you will never be alone,
never be forsaken,

helping you see
there is no void,
there is no emptiness,
only my love
filling all space,
a space
you are learning to understand,
and have always understood.
