Cookie Lyons on the FOX show Empire was lying in jail singing the words to a song that I think every woman should admit that they long to hear: You’re so beautiful, I will wait for you!
That scene
just touched me….I could feel it. How
our hearts need that hope, hope that allows us to survive even when we are
locked up. You might not have been physically behind bars, but we do have a way
of locking our heart up because of the pains we have experienced in this
world. We shut people out, we don’t open up to know people
or let them know us. It is all the
same. We want to be safe from the pain. We have lost hope that that there is someone
who thinks we are beautiful, and will wait for us as to heal and hope again. We might have even lost hope that anything
could be beautiful, nonetheless think that about us. Some of us have lost hope.
So what kept
Cookie Lyons while in that jail cell? I
don’t know. Maybe hope that the words of
the song that her husband sang were true, and that he thought she was so
beautiful that he would wait for her. Maybe it was looking at the picture of
her family and hoping that she would one day be with her kids again…to love
them. Well he did not wait, he divorced
her. BUT I know someone who we can always
hope in, and hope in Him will not disappoint us. He is a keeper and a mender of hiding locked
up hearts. His love waits and calls us
to beautiful. His name is Jesus and He
thinks we are one of His most beautiful creations, perfect, fearfully and
wonderfully made. AND He will always
wait for us…until the end of time. The
Lord Jesus longs for us with an incomprehensible love that can break us out of
jail and give us a hope that will keep us eternally.
Ecclesiastes
311 He has made everything
beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts...
