I AM SUCCESSFUL: REIGN ZION
Dear King,
Yes, I still call you King. It’s who you are. Who you have always been. Despite the distorted lens that some view you through, I see your perseverance and I admire you. I recognize your strength and appreciate your rich melanin although some are terrified of the very things that I love most about you. Your protective nature and outspoken tongue, and let’s not forget your unselfish heart.
They try and cast you through edited accounts by replacing the actual. Angling the lens so it’s unflattering and critical of your every imperfection. Reality becomes buried long enough for irreparable damage to occur which then becomes the focus and the original injustice is indefinitely postponed. Pause. Wait. Suspend.
But please, do not fret – I know your courage! Remember, it’s okay to be concerned but don’t become confused. Never be distracted by obscurities. Know your purpose and let it motivate you. Keep your head lifted high for you come from the loins of Pharaohs, African majesty, Civil Rights pioneers, notable inventors and brilliant masterminds who endured perilous times yet remained faith-filled and faithful.
Be assured, you, too, can be persistent as you navigate through uncertainties. A king is supposed to keep his composure in the face of pandemonium, when circumstances appear too dire to proceed. He knows better for things are rarely as they seem. So he strategizes. He leads and harmonizes, walking in excellence. He shows no weakness. And just like royalty from the very distant past, centuries from now your story will be told with reverential respect- even your critics will applaud your impressive endurance.
I see you, love. I see you protect those you adore the most. I see you working hard to take care of your family. You’re an incredible provider and I’m so thankful that you haven’t been broken. Your spirit has not been compromised! Your young sons will flourish in the image of you. You are a champion. You are my champion. You are our champion! When you succeed, we all succeed. Others may not acknowledge your greatness but I do. Stay encouraged for you are the embodiment of courage.
Yours faithfully,
A Doting Admirer
