Held Captive
By Ramone - June 23, 2007
"Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.One night, not long after "Father's Love" and "Father's Kiss", I was again retiring upstairs for the night when I knelt down and kissed my wife goodnight while she slept. I wanted to hold her tight and be next to her all night! But I had to go upstairs. (>_<) As I left the room and looked back in, I was overcome by the beauty of her -- her, her form, her hair, her everything, she!
Your hair is like royal tapestry;
the King is held captive by its tresses."
- Song of Songs 7:5
I began tasting Jesus' love for you and me!
"I am my lover's and my lover is mine...How? My goodness it's hard to believe, but it's the truth! It's the song of songs that He sings over us, about you, about me!
"You are beautiful, my darling, as Tirzah,
lovely as Jerusalem,
majestic as troops with banners.
"Turn your eyes from Me;
they overwhelm me."
- Song 6:3-5
I named this picture over a week later. As I was organizing pictures & things, I suddenly discovered I was unable to name the picture. I had been distracted by the fact that it didn't turn out as nicely as I'd hoped. But as I looked at it again and was struck by my inability to name it, He brought me back into that moment, into that love and wondering beholding of her, the one I love -- and into His captivity, how He is held captive by looking at you and me.
And then yet again I had to retire upstairs for the night just like the night I drew this picture! And again I came up from laying next to my wife and wishing it would be eternity right now. I had to tear myself away from her once again. How I want to be there again!
