The Way He Holds My Hand


This is what my beloved spoke to me...

Take hold my love. Feel the way your heart flutters when I grab your hand...guess what, my heart does the same. If only you could see the smile that comes across your face when I whisper into your ear, "Come away my love." Oh that smile, it is the joy of my heart.
My beloved, I love to lead you. I love to grab your hand and lead into the beautiful places. I love to be your protector. When your enemies come against you, my defenses go up. Nothing will harm you my love, because I have set my best guards on all sides of us. Our relationship is stronger than any force the world could throw our direction.
When you worry, my love, my heart aches. I wish you knew how much I desire to lavish you with blessings. All the desires of your heart, those are mine too. You are my beloved, and I am yours.
Come with me, my love, let me tell you a story.

"There was once a prince who was married to the most beautiful princess. They were on a journey, to the kingdom, to dwell in the most beautiful and extravagant castle in all the land. However, in order to get to this castle, they had to pass through the enchanted forest. In this forest were so many dark places, unfamiliar and foreign places. So often the princess would get so focused on those dark places, she would forget the hand she held. Fear and doubt would overwhelm her, but then as soon as she felt she was being overcome, the prince would squeeze the princess' hand. With the squeeze of his hand she would turn her head to look to him and all her fears were gone, because she was holding the hand of the prince. It was then when she took her eyes off the dark, she could see the beautiful places he was trying to lead her. Who would have known there were beautiful waterfalls, gardens, rivers with lush greenery flowing along the most magnificent mountains, here on this journey. It was as if the dark places of the enchanted forest turned into open spaces of beautiful freedom when she gazed into her prince's eyes. You see it was here that the prince was able to show the princess how wonderful the journey was to the kingdom when she kept her gaze upon him...."

You see my love, this story, well... it's you and me love. I am the prince and you are my beautiful princess. My love, I am leading you to the most wonderful castle you could ever imagine. So please come with me love, come away with me. Let me lead you to the happily ever after... It will come, I promise, it is coming. But until then, come with me, hold my hand, and become my beloved.
