"I will wait for you" by Official P4CM Poet JANETTE...IKZ www.youtube.com 
I Will Wait For You
So it seemed, that it was cool,  for everyone to be in a relationship but me..
So I took matters into my own hands… and ended up with him
Him who displayed the characteristics of a CHEATER, a LIAR, an ABUSER, & a THEIF
So.. why was I surprised when he broke into my heart?
I called 911, but I was cardiac arrested for aiding and abetting,
Cause it was ME who let him in…
Claiming we were “just friends”..
It was already decided for me by the first date, that even if he wasn’t!
I was gonna make him ‘The One’..
You know… I was tired of being alone,
And I simply made up in my mind, that it was about that time so I decided to drag him along for the ride,
Cause I was always the bridesmaid & never the bride..
A virgin in the physical, but mentally just a grown woman on the corner in heat!
Who was tired of the wait!
So I was gonna make him ‘The One’.
He had a… form of Godliness… but not much..
But hey, hey I can change him! So (honey) I’ll TAKE him, I mean he’s close… enough
Ready to sell my aorta for a quarter, not knowing the value of its use to me
Arteries so clogged with MY will, it blocked HIS Will from flowing through me
So, I thank Christ that His blood pressure gave this heart an attack,
That flat lined my obscured vision, put me flat on my back
Through my ignorance He sawed,
Through my sternum He sawed & cracked open my chest
To transplant Psalm 51:10
A new heart & a renewed right spirit within!
So now I fully understand,
Better yet I thoroughly comprehend,
How much I NEED to wait… for You.
See, the bad thing is that I knew he wasn’t you from the beginning..
Cause in the beginning was the Word
And he didn’t even sound or shine like Your Son
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks,
And all he could whisper was sweet, empty nothings –
Which meant NOTHING.
He couldn’t even pray when I NEEDED him to
Asking him to fast would be absurd!
So forget about being cleansed & washed with water through the Word…
But I know You.. ♥
You were already praying for me
Even never having met me
Let me assure you, I will wait for you.
I will no longer date, socialize or communicate with carbon copies of you
To appease my boredom or to quench my thirstiness I have for attention
And short-lived compliments from ‘sorta kindas’.
You know…. He ‘sort kinda’ right, but ‘sorta kinda’ wrong?
His first name LUKE,
His last name WARM.
I, I won’t settle for false companionship
I won’t lay in the embrace of his arms,
Attempting to find some closeness,
But never feeling so far apart cause, I just wanna be held
Cause ♫”all I gotta do is Say” No!
NO more ‘almost sessions’ of ‘almost coming close’
Passing winks & buying drinks,
I’mma, I’mma, I’mma flirt!♫
Who flirts with the ideology of,
‘Can you just tell me how much I can get away with & still be saved?’
NO more.
I’ll stay in my bed… alone, and write poems, about how I will wait for you
He won’t even come close,
Our fingers won’t even interlock
We won’t even exchange breath
Cause I have thoughts that I’ve ‘Saved As’ in a file that God has only equipped you to open.
I will no longer get weighted down,
From so-called friends & family talks,
About the concern for my biological clock
When I serve the Author of Time.
Who is NOT subject to time,
But I’M subject to Him,
He has the ability to STOP, FAST FORWARD, PAUSE, or REWIND at any given time…
So if we could role play,
You would be Abraham & I would be Sara
Or you can be Isaac & I can be Rebecca – a servant’s answered prayer
I am bone of your bone, flesh of your flesh,
Made up of your rib Adam!
And once we meet, like electrons
I will be bound to your nucleus, completely indivisible atom.
We even speak the same math: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, which really equals 1 if you add Him.
We were all created in His image,
But you have the ability to reflect, project & even detect the Son.
If I were to explain what you looked like,
You would have to look like a star,
A son of the Son..
I would gain energy simply from the light on me.
I would need you , in order to complete my photosynthesis
I await your revelation, but once again from the genesis, I will wait for you ♥
And I will know you… because when you speak I will be reminded of Solomon’s wisdom,
Your ability to lead will remind me of Moses,
Your faith will remind me of Abraham,
Your confidence in God’s Word will remind me of Daniel,
Your inspiration will remind me of Paul,
Your heart for God will remind me of David,
Your attention to detail will remind me of Noah,
Your integrity will remind me of Joseph,
And your ability to abandon your own will, will remind me of the disciples,
But Your ability to love selflessly & unconditionally will remind me of Christ.
But I won’t need to identify you by any special Matthews or any special Marks,
Cause His word will be tatted all over your heart.
And you will know me, and you will find me,
Where… the boldness of Esther meets the warm closeness of Ruth.
Where the hospitality of Lydia is aligned with the submission of Mary,
Which is engulfed in the tears of a praying Hanna.
I will be the one, drenched in Proverbs 31… waiting for you.
But to my Father, my Father who has known me before I was birthed into this earth
Only if you should see fit…
I desire Your will above mine,
So even if you call me to a life of singleness,
My heart is content with YOU – the One who was sent.
YOU are the greatest love story ever told,
The greatest story ever known
You are forever my judge & I’m forever Your witness
And I pray that I’m always found on a mission about my Father’s business
Oh, I will always be Yours!
And I will always wait for You Lord, more than the watchmen wait for the morning…
More than the watchmen wait for the morning… I WILL WAIT

Found this post in a facebook page called 'rise up'... https://www.facebook.com/groups/RISEUPSOCIETY/512413495512535/?notif_t=group_comment_reply

I'm done. With the plastic smiles

I'm done. With Christians who walk into church like they are walking into a Country Club

I'm done. With Christians pretending they are perfect

I'm done. With churches saying "that's the way we've always done it"

I'm done. With Christians who say healing services in these modern days are fake.

I'm done. With Christians who avoid fasting

I'm done. With people who sit in church waiting for the pastor to "bless" them

I'm done. With those who think pre-schoolers are too small to learn about Jesus

I'm done. With Christians who mock saints that cast out demons in the name of Jesus

I'm done. With Christians who complain about their church but have never given a dime to God's kingdom

I'm done. With people who stand and cheer at football games on Friday nights but walk into church like they are at a funeral

I'm done. With Christians who can sing Madonna's latest hit but can't recite the 10 commandments

I'm done. With Christian fathers who push their sons to play football, but have never taught them to read the bible

I'm done. With Christians who go into deep debt to "keep up with the Jones'" who sit next to them in Sunday School.

I'm done. With fake "Christian-ese" on men's lips

I'm done. With deacons who complain about an unsaved teenager wearing a ball cap into the sanctuary

I'm done. With Sunday morning being the most segregated hour of the week.

I'm done. With Christians who think they are better because their skin is white

I'm done. With Christians who think organs are holy and drums are not.

I'm done. With Christians who say "I'm fine" when really their marriage is in shambles

I'm done. With people who think their past should be a secret, lest they be judged by the church

I'm done. With churches who think worship is for Sunday morning

I'm done. With Christians who don't believe in supernatural healing

I'm done. With Christians who don't believe in the unseen warfare all around us

I'm done. With Christians who believe miracles only happened in the bible

I'm done. With Christians who call on God like He's a cosmic genie in a bottle

I'm done. With Christians who think somehow they have attained all they have

I'm done. With this "little religion box" that some Christians have put Jesus into

I'm done. With the limits that most churches put on God's power

I'm truly done. no more limits. no more boundaries. no more plastic people. no more playing church. I'm done. Jesus did not die so His people could play church and be comfortable.

How long will we "play church" while there are lost souls to win, hungry orphans to feed, hurting widows to love, lonely hearts to mend, and broken
lives to heal?

There is no limit to God's power displayed through His people if we could just stop playing church and start being the church!

My 2 cents on serving


1. Don't serve out of guilt- things done on guilt are short lived & seasonal. As soon as guilt checks out you stop.

2. You can never pay back God no matter how hard/long you serve. In fact the harder you work to pay back God, the more indebted to Him you will feel.

3. Things being difficult or challenging in your area of service doesn't necessarily mean that it's.a sign from God to move on. Most often it stems from pride, selfish interest & plain old escapism.

4. Complements as awesome as they are can make you mediocre & complacent. You know you can do much better but 'everyone' thinks you're good & so you'd rather just leave it at that.

5. It is better you don't do anything for God than doing a half hearted/shady job for Him.

Jeremiah 48:10 NIV "A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord 's work!

Deutronomy28:47 KJV Because thou served not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all
things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
