"Lyric!"
"Harmony!"
"It's time to go meet your Mom and Dad."
The girls looked at each other with a quizzical expression on their faces.
"What's a Mom and Dad?" Lyric asked with an interested look on her face.
"A Mom and Dad are people who look after you. They give you the necessary things, like water, food, and clothes. But most of all, they give you all the love they can."
"Love? You mean like how You love us? Because you love us the BEST!" Lyric said. Both girls looked at each other and giggled.
Harmony was quiet first and pensively kicked at the sand beneath her bare feet. Glancing up at Him with a question lingering in her gaze, she quietly stated, "I thought you loved us."
The Wise One smiled broadly and said, "I love you more than you can imagine. But two are waiting for you who love Me and have waited expectantly for you to arrive. Don't worry! One day, we will all be reunited. In fact, there will be a day when all five of us will be together again."
"Again? Wait a minute!" the girls exclaimed excitedly. "You know them too?"
"I know all of the small ones who have yet to arrive in the other place as well as the big ones who are waiting. I made all of them."
The girls looked at each other, thinking about what the I AM had just told them. They were intrigued by the idea of Him knowing the Ones known as Mom and Dad, but they still weren't sure about leaving The Kingdom. It was beautiful there. The colors were vibrant, the weather was perfect, and they could swim in the dazzling sea whenever they wished. New Ones arrived all the time and happily and reverently joined the myriad of worshippers already worshipping the I AM. Most of all, the I AM spent time with them even though they were the smallest of them all.
"They know Me, Lyric and Harmony, and they love Me. They will teach you all about Me so that you will learn to love Me too."
"But...we already love You, and we don't want to leave You.", they said rather petulantly. "We like it here."
"I know you do, and I understand. But, you must go for a short time. You won't be there long. Time isn't the same in the Other Place as it is here. I've created you for a time and a purpose, and that time is now. I'll be with you always. That is My promise to the Ones who are waiting in expectation of reuniting with Me, and it will be My promise to you as well."
"What about the music? We love the music here. You named us musical names."
The I AM said, "To be sure, the music here is perfect. The place you are going to has music as well and there are songs of praise to Me in the Other Place just as there are here. Of course, it will be new to you, but you will learn to love it."
"We sing a new song here, though. Will it be the same there? Lyric said.
"Truly, I have given a new song to those who no longer wait for Me but have joined Me in eternity. But, you are named Lyric because you will create new songs in the place to which you are traveling. Harmony, you will pen the chords and notes and make beautiful music with your Mom and Dad. It will be a new song in your new place but not the same as the new song here. The dialect will be different than it is here because I have not yet made that place perfect. You two will be the writers of songs in the Other Place. It is the path I have created for you there."
Psalm 139:13-18 (13) For You created me in my innermost parts; You knit me together in my mother's womb. (14) I will give thanks for to You, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. (15) My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, and skillfully formed in the depths of the earth; (16) Your eyes have seen my formless substance; and in Your book were written all the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. (17) How precious are Your thoughts to me, God! How vast is the sum of them!"
