Do you remember how your name sounded on the lips of that person who loved you? Or how it sounds today spoken by your dearest friend? I still remember, though Bob has been in Heaven 15 years, shortly after we met, he looked intently at me and sang in his beautiful baritone voice, “Miriam, I just met a girl named Miriam.” The tune was from Maria, from West Side Story. But to this day, I believe the song was written for me. Yes, I melted and married him in less than a year. He sang this to me when I was 19.
My name was always safe in his mouth.
A greater love story is that of Jesus for us. He calls us by name and tenderly shepherds us through life’s upheavals. Is His name safe in our mouths?
