The
Breech Of Israel Bound
shared
by Suzin McNeill
If thou return
to
the Almighty,
thou shalt be built up,
thou shalt put away iniquity.
Who can
search and find the
breech between My virgin daughter and I? Who will call her name and
search through
the streets to find her? Who will inquire at both the town’s square and
the
King’s table?
Have
you seen her? Is she well? Has she forgotten the laws of kindness she
was
taught as a youth? She once flourished under the care of the King, but
now I
cannot find her. The laws of kindness are not about her and she seems
hidden to
that which is good. I once knew her and
loved her as only love could love. She has gone out from me and I
cannot find
her. The streets howl and I fear she has fallen into an altogether
selfish
man who seeks only his own desires.
If
you see her do her no harm, for she is wounded and I cannot protect
her. She is
being used and lies are both deep and prevalent. How can I help her to
see the
darkness of her own bed and empty promises when all things are twisted
and
seemly justifiable? Oh God, help me bring her back to the laws of her
God.
Help
me search her heart and restore her unto You. Another will not treasure
her,
seeing no worth, but I have listened to the pangs of her birthing. I
have seen
Her
feet will be dusty for she has walked the streets uncovered. Her brow
will be
rough and ruddish for there has been no one to apply the soothing oil.
Her
cheeks may be gaunt for it has been some time since she had living
breath
within her. The light of her eyes will no longer sparkle and dance, yet
there
is still a small flame not extinguished.
