How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey.
-Psalm 119:103(NLT)
SWEETER THAN HONEY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever I wake up, you nudge me with words
You say things that bring me on top of this world
You make me feel so important even though I am not worthy
I am amazed by your love that you give me unconditionally.
How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey
Your loving and gentle words give me joy, peace and stability
It makes my day complete when I hear your voice at daybreak
You fill me with your spirit which I openly accept and take.
Anyone who has said an encouraging word to you would always be remembered and treasured. I still couldn’t forget my grade one teacher, Miss Amelia Celeridad up to this day. It was 48 years ago when she told me that I had a great singing voice. I was singing softly on the wall of our classroom during recess when no one was there and she heard me. Later that day, she announced to the class what gift I had. When no one in my family believed in me, it encouraged and gave me comfort that she saw that gift in me.
The bible says the God’s word is sweeter than honey. It brings you joy to hear it. It makes you free and loved.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your word.
REFLECTION
How is God’s word sweeter than honey?
