I tell you that my name, that my blood, that my love, my peace is your protective shield.

And that brings you comfort.

Slowly, you're allowing yourself to believe that, to trust that, to hear me when I say that.

You're applying it.

But as you continue to take my name, as you continue to fill my love, to flood the rooms, the spaces you're in with my holy blood that overcame

this world, you too will overcome the world, you will see through it. You will see it for what it is. You will see my kingdom

where it is. You need no shield. You need no bubble of protection. From what? I am the only power.

You run from shadows. Stop running and turn around.

Light.

I love you.
