Shyan

Here, I explain an acronym that has profound meaning in my life. The original version is Hathtshyanlg, but the abridged one is Shyan.

✞ For anyone who is a Christian, or even a non-Christian, I have created a new acronym. Sounds dumb... but hear me out.

❤️‍🔥Hathtshyanlg ✞

It stands for: "His are the hands that shall hold you, and never let go." ✞

Since it does not flow well... an abbreviated acronym FOR this acronym is going to be Shyan [pronounced: shy • inn or shy • ann]. Thus, Shyan is synonymous with that sentence. I am a writer. This is not an initialism or an abbreviation. Please allow me to make up the rules of English just this once, please.

Anyway, a few weeks ago—I had an epiphany.✨

There is a quote from the book, “Emma” by Jane Austen. She wrote, “I can not make speeches. If I loved you any less, I might be able to talk about it more.”

I revere that statement a lot right now. We often think of God as silent and we equate that to His absence. Or His lack of answering our prayers. But I am of the belief that even a single breath from His lungs would send His entire beautiful creation into tears of joy; it would be beautiful and agonising all at the same time. In this divine tempest, time would stop. It would be all righteous emotion, complete conviction experienced all at once. Just a breath. After all if God loved us any less, perhaps He would be able to talk about it more.

Have a beautiful evening, everyone. Most of all, remember my initial acronym—Hathtshyanlg—His are the hands that shall hold you, and never let go. ✞

Shyan. ✞✨❤️‍🔥

"She has been feeling it for awhile now—that sense of awakening. There is a gentle rage simmering inside her, and it is getting stronger by the day. She will hold it close to her—she will nurture it and let it grow. She won't let anyone take it away from her. It is her rocket fuel and finally, she is going places. She can feel it down to her very core—this is her time. She will not only climb mountains—she will move them too." –Lang Leav ♥︎ Copyright © Samantha Arden Lockheart // Copyright © Samantha Ann Fuchsgruber [Founder of Lockheart Arden Publishing; Est.
