Somebody

Somebody called me "Beloved “. As I woke from sleep,  I heard the world clearly as if there was someone in the room with me.  I turned and looked around, but there was nobody there, not in the room nor anywhere ear where I was.   Yet I  had heard it plain, somebody called me "Beloved “.

I lay for a moment in my bed confused, for I had heard the word beloved.   Where dix it come from if no one was near me?  Yet I had heard it, somebody called me" Beloved ".   I could not for a time understand what had happened,  for I was still half asleep and not really aware.  As I  finally woke completely,  I decided I had been dreaming, but could not remember the dream.   Just that word, Beloved.   It echoed in my brain and would not go away that somebody had called me "Beloved".

As i considered what had happened, I realized that there was One who could have been there, even in my dreams.   One who is always there for me, even when I do not realize it.   And through the rest of my days, I shall not forget that there is a Somebody who calls me “Beloved ".
