Beloved

Clearly, names are important . . .
-  God named Adam
-  Adam named Eve
-  We will all have new names known only by Him when we get to eternity

What an intimate thing to be given a name known only by one.
It's personal.
It's ownership.
It's commitment,
and I weep.
Me?
I long to know that name He has for me,
to hear it spoken by Him for me alone.
No, not alone . . . for Him and I,
Creator and created,
one at last.
Only then will my bones be at rest.
