Special Delivery

Special.

Specially made not on special.

Crafted by my hand.

Made on purpose.

Made for this purpose.

Made for this time.

Made for a special purpose.

Made especially for you.

I have spent a lot of time working on this.

I am so excited for what is to come.

Allow me to present my handiwork.

For my hands have been at work.

This is no small thing.

This is a big thing.

This a special thing.

Surprise.

Surprise.

Surprise.

An unexpected surprise.

This is not a case of “this is not what you were expecting”

You will not want to return this to the sender.

For I have made room for this.

I have cleared the path for this.

This is a wide load.

This needed special permits, special permission, special path, special means of access.

I made special plans for this day, for this moment.

Let’s start with the unwrapping.

Take the edge.

Hold on to the edge.

Take a step to your right.

One step will not do.

Take another step.

Take another step.

Take another step.

Walk further than you expect.

For I have placed this on purpose for a purpose.

Right in the centre of a large place.

You will need lots of elbow room.

For there is more in this package that you expect.

For what is within is designed to expand, is designed for expansion.

Here let me help you with that.

Like a giant flower blossoming.

Yes that is it.

For it grows as you unwrap it.

More and more, more and more it blossoms in your hand.

Like a fountain it rises before you.

Higher and higher, wider and wider.

For it is so much bigger than you could imagine.

Yet it grows at my command.

Yes it blossoms in my hand.

Song of Songs 2:10-13 My beloved speaks and says to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth and ripens her green figs, and the vines are in blossom and give forth their fragrance.Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

More and more, bursting forth with fruit all around. For the vine bursts forth, before you know it grapes all around.

Special delivery.

Delivered at the right time. Delivered on the special day, on your special day.

For you are special to me.

A special gift for my special one, for my chosen one.

I have chosen this especially for you, especially for this moment, you will know the fulfilment of all that I have prepared.

For the climate is right, the position is right, the plan is set, the outcome is predetermined.

Just close your eyes and put out your hands. You need not see this part, bit you need to receive it with both hands!

Let’s start with the ribbon, the red tape, for you must pull it in order to release that which is contained within.

Let me hold it with you.

Take a step to your right. Walk away with me. Walk with me. Pull it with me.

Isaiah 35:1-2 THE WILDERNESS and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the rose and the autumn crocus. It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellency of Mount Carmel and the plain of Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty and splendor and excellency of our God. Isaiah 57:19 Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near! says the Lord; I create the fruit of his lips, and I will heal him make his lips blossom anew with speech in thankful praise.
