A Shining Jewel
ComfortIn the quiet of my soul, God shared yet another paradox with me (as one man’s trash is another man’s treasure…and that which you search for is already found)
“My daughter, you were abandoned at birth. You had no name. You, who survived off of borrowed identities, always dependent on those who should find you and manage to create you into what was needed at the time, will not be forgotten. For you have fulfilled many desires, some of broken dreams and even blessings that became miscarriages to those who continuously asked why. You, never knowing your past, or your future, but always able to trust with pure innocence; this makes you rare and a priceless gem. I, the Lord your God, who is of Heaven, found you first. I adopted you as my angel…I lent you to an earthly father who took you in and cared for you as an orphan. I told him to give you the name: Yoon, Chang-Ju, which means Shining-Jewel; all the while, praying that you will shine brightly for someone’s Kingdom. My daughter, owners always come back for their lost treasures; and this you are to me. You then, were bought with another price. To fulfill the white man’s prayer, and pacify a wife that could not carry seeds of their own. You borrowed the name Robyn. In America, you learned how to assimilate in this chapter of your life and with the new name; you carried the season of spring, new life and song to a barren woman. Even the Father of all lies came hunting for your worth. He proposed to unlock the mysteries of life, training you in deception. And yet, after all of this, you came back.
Now, you stand before a Black man’s world, filled with poverty and racial tension. You gave your body to carry and birth three new generations of this line, filling it with all you are and yet you know nothing about who and from where you come. You are fragmented, your identity has been cast among the nations, tied to many lives that you know nothing about- a vessel to carry a blessing in disguise, a messenger with out shame and now you ask of me, to give what you yourself cannot give to your own offspring? My daughter, in my Kingdom, lie great treasures. Gold, Diamonds and shining Jewels. As all houses have working parts and purpose to it, these beautiful things were created specifically to adorn and magnify his majesty, the Lord most high! When people see you on this earth, a shining jewel dropped from my Kingdom, the contrast will be so wide, they will ask and you will point them back to their roots. Remember, your offspring are also mine; therefore, I have equipped you for that which you seek. The paradox of this quest-is that you already found ‘home’… you are just waiting to be put back in the owner’s hands… a jewel on the crown of his majesty”
