To you, John, my son, and you, Paulette, my daughter,
I knew you both, well before …you were,
In recesses of My Spirit, stirred.
There I had appointed your mothers and fathers. 1
To your dads’ seed, I pointed My finger,
And you each became the substance I ‘foresaw’,
According to My spirit-to-substance law,
By which I create, and never falter.
At your births, My angels and I rejoiced greatly,
As we shared in all the joys of your parents.
As you grew from babes-to-toddlers, then enfants,
I bestowed Grace to sustain your journeys safely.
When you embraced me as your Savior,
And into my ‘elect’ you were baptized,
By your strong embrace, I was not surprised.
That’s the results of my Grace favor.
It was my Grace that led you to meet each other,
During your time at Lincoln University.
There you both shared your strong faith, unfalteringly,
And committed to live holy, without blunder.
I greatly rejoiced to meet you at the altar,
Where, in holy matrimony, you did unite.
There, our strong three-fold cord was formed for your life’s fight,
You, John and Paulette, and Me, your guiding North Star. 2
Throughout the years since then, in you both I delighted.
In your choices of careers, and births of your children,
In all, you upheld the banner, Devoted Christians.
To bless you with children’s children, I was excited!
You see…
In children, it’s Godly offspring I desire,
To give, in life, glory to My Name.
This requires parents who shun sin’s games,
And who will model lifestyles that I admire. 3
I designed life on Earth as mankind’s vast proving ground.
There I search hearts and test minds, uncloaking things hidden therein.
And thus I am making apparent each person’s …life’s kingpin,
Whether in righteousness or wickedness they abound. 4
Then, when their life is over, before Me each one will stand.
To know whether on their results, I will smile or frown,
To give a crown of righteousness, or to cast them down,
To fellowship with Me forever, or from Me be banned.
Paulette Davidson, My very good and faithful servant,
Now wears her well-earned, glorious crown of righteousness.
So rejoice with her, though hearts may be filled with sadness.
Her ‘testing days’ are over, and with Me, she is present! 5
My keen desire is that, to all whose testing days continue,
Her life remains as a beacon of righteousness,
Of how to approach and pass My tests with somberness.
So one day with her, they all can enjoy …a sweet rendezvous.
Delivered through My servant,
J! Wooten, Jr., Tucson, Arizona
