Naming and blessing

After Ephesians 3:14-21

One gives us our names,

and that naming implies

family identity and

ownership, or sovereignty,

if you will, from which

later turns into a waterfall,

a torrential downpour,

an antediluvian blessing

flowing directly into

our souls, so that 

the Son of One moves in,

and inhabits, dwells, and 

occupies our hearts,

cultivates our hearts,

rooting, grounding,

nurturing, growing

us in love.
