O Clavis David: "O Key of David and sceptre of the House of Israel; you open and no one can shut; you shut and no one can open: Come and lead the prisoners from the prison house, those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death."
If we indeed see God as having the key to our heart, then doesn't that make God our soulmate? Someone who can come and unlock the prison where we keep our self when it's hurting and lonely? where we hide things we only pull out in the darkness of pain? the judgments and the recriminations and the accusations and the fears?
"A soulmate is someone who has keys to fit our locks and locks which fit our keys. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life." - Richard Bach
