Belong

Back where you belong.

Where is it you belong?

Lord you know the question before I ask it.

You belong with me.

That is where you belong.

I am yours and you are mine, and my banner over you is love.

You don’t need the affirmation of anyone else.

There is a reason you don’t feel like you fit in.

The reason is that you don’t.

You were never designed to fit in.

For the materials of the door are very different from the materials of the key.

One is designed to open, the other is designed to keep in.

One provides access, the other provides a means to stop access.

For I have set you apart for a purpose.

You are the key.

Yes you are the key.

Yes you are key.

Instrumental. Purposed for purpose. Purposed on purpose. Purpose upon purpose. Layer upon layer.

Set apart, yet designed to come together.

For the door remains closed without the key to open it.

Let me say that again, for the door remains closed without the key to open it.

You belong with me.

For I have placed you in my hand.

Yes I have placed you within my hand.

Song of Songs 5:1-2 I HAVE come into my garden, my sister, my promised bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my balsam and spice from your sweet words I have gathered the richest perfumes and spices. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends feast on, O revelers of the palace; you can never make my lover disloyal to me! Drink, yes, drink abundantly of love, O precious one for now I know you are mine, irrevocably mine! With his confident words still thrilling her heart, through the lattice she saw her shepherd turn away and disappear into the night. I went to sleep, but my heart stayed awake. I dreamed that I heard the voice of my beloved as he knocked at the door of my mother’s cottage. Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my spotless one he said, for I am wet with the heavy night dew; my hair is covered with it.

Turn unto me, and I will turn unto you.

For in my hands is the turning.

For you are the key of the master, the masters key.

You pause and wonder, now pause in wonder.

You pause and wonder “how is it I am associated with this group?” For you say “I am not like them.”

Yet they don’t yet realise the gift I have given them.

In a moment in an instant, I will open their eyes.

For it shall be an eye opening moment.

A sight they have not seen before.

They will be shocked by their ignorance. They will ask of themselves, “how did I not know this?”

For there is none like you, none like you…

You were designed to stand out.

Fear not, for I am with you, I have called you by name and you are mine.

Isaiah 43:1-2 BUT NOW, thus says the Lord, He Who created you, O Jacob, and He Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you.
