After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace—who has called you into His eternal glory in Messiah—will Himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you. – 1 Peter 5:10, TLV
If he didn’t want you, Forgive his green-eyed stares Watching you from a Distance now as your blossoming Lotus petals open in Spite of the mud he thought He smothered you in – Pain so deep and dark washed Off by murky dirty water That ironically re-created you unsoiled. He’s threatened by the Beauty that broke through the Heartache his rejection Prompted – an ill-fated decision Resulting from his lust Of flesh and eyes that failed to Discern the grass is only Greener wherever it is watered – So, he left instead of Working on turning green the meadow He now covets, after Devaluing and dismissing your potential. Jealousy, a soul-devouring Sickness, lays dormant until he sees How you emerged spotless On the outside and strong on the inside While outwardly he fakes Feelings meant for you and inwardly pines, So afraid to use the remedy He once used – surrendered pride and joy For pride and joy he thought Looked better on the other side of the fence. He refuses to grab hold of Hard to express feelings that are eating a Hole in his sad soul and in His ever-bleeding heart that knows you’re His true love and she is His first aid quick fix that never helped him Heal self-inflicted wound – Hastily divorcing then remarrying because He promised her, yet forgot He promised you first ‘til death do we part. If he didn’t see you as Soulmate then, just forgive his Blindness and egotism That make him want the new you Who remarkably grew Through his mud toward the light, Warmth, and splendor In the grass he was searching for When he settled for an Imitation – a forlorn decision that Foreclosed any possibility He’d realize your anchored strength And flexibility often look Fragile on the surface but are why you Rose through adversity and Blossomed so strongly and stunningly. - composed August 17, 2020
