LIKE A SEAL

¨Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away...¨

Song of Songs 8:6,7



She is like a seal over my heart.
Death cannot take her away from me.
Not death, nor mighty flames nor raging waters

could take her from me.

Death and its friend, the enemy of our souls,

would like to think she is gone

and conquered - 

without a trace.

But she was victorious -

and she lives!

She lives eternally.

And she lives close to our hearts,

like a seal.

Oh God, let our memories

and her legacy

and our love

live on forever.

May she continue to impact & inspire,

to promote & impassion,

to bless & adorn,

despite this temporary parting.

Let this seal upon my heart

Burn like a fire and

Rage like the waters

A royal love stamp from above -

of belonging & identity & sonship.

Let this seal spread

with noble fury

with passionate determination

with devotion & zeal

to accomplish purposes beyond even her dreams

to overthrow injustice, to anoint other youth

to transmit love & beauty

to emanate truth & purity

to imitate her courage

to carry on the faith work

of this generation...

And yes! to change the world.

Death is going to really regret this!

For she is set like a seal upon our hearts...
