Marriage
For your Maker
is your Husband,
the Lord of Hosts
is His Name.
[Isaiah 54:5]
***************************
"Hey.......LORD?
(Giggle!)
Am I MARRIED to You?"
[SMILE!]
"Cuz, that's what the
Christians say. I've never
really heard 'a that."
"Ah, I see."
"That's what they SAY!"
[NOD.]
"I know, child.
I know."
(Grimmace.)
"Yeah, well."
"Yes?"
(Squinty grimmace.)
"Ech."
"Well said,
My beloved."
(Guilty frown.)
"Well......I'm SORRY.
I think that's a pretty
CONCEPT, and all,
but........"
[SMILE!]
"Go on."
"Well........that's kinda'
a disgusting WORD to me.
In fact, it gives me
bad heartburn."
[NOD.]
"I was a bride, a long
time ago.......and, the
image doesn't bring me
a lotta happiness now:
Ya KNOW?"
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
"Ya know what I MEAN?"
[PATIENT NOD.]
"Ya KNOW?"
"Yes.
[LONG PAUSE.]
Yes, child.
I know."
"WELL?
(Frown up at top of floor lamp.)
"Hey, it DOES!
What can I SAY?"
[SILENCE.]
"Not MUCH,
huh?"
"What does My Word say,
little one?"
"Eh.....yeah.
It says it someplace at
the end of Your First Book:
I hate divorce,
says the Lord....
[Malachi 2:16]
Yeah.......but, that doesn't
seem to stop it any,
DOES it?"
[SLOW NOD.]
"I mean, You say stuff,
Lord, but it doesn't seem
to CHANGE anything!"
[FROWN!]
"It doesn't?"
"Not that I'VE seen!
And, I've been around
Your world 52 years, now!"
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
"See what I MEAN?
See what kinda' WIFE,
I am? All I do is
ARGUE all the TIME!"
[PATIENT NOD.]
"Yes, child.
[SMILE!]
I know."
"SO?
How do I know Y'ur
not gonna leave me,
TOO?"
[LONG PAUSE.]
"I am the Lord,
child."
"Yeah, well;
I grew up thinkin'
You were ONE Thing.
Then, the CHRISTIANS
tell me Y'ur Something ELSE!
How do I KNOW Who You
ARE?"
[PATIENTLY WAITING.]
"Read My Word, child."
(Sigh.)
"Yeah.
(Shrug.)
But, trust me: I've never
been real good in the relationship
department. Plus, I've been
told I make a lousy wife."
[GENTLE VOICE.]
"Who AM I, child?"
"I dunno;
You're up in the sky, somewhere."
"No, little one.
I'm right Here."
"So.......what ARE You,
to me, ANYWAY?"
"Everything, child.
Everything."
*************************
And,
the Hold One of Israel
is
your Redeemer,
the God of the
whole earth
He is called.
[Isaiah 54:5]
