Brave In Its Wings (God)
let Me† tell you a story
one of purity and malice
one of forsakenness and envy
for all her beauty
malaina was innocent
righteous and pure
one of seven sisters
she kept to herself
and helped all the others
but secretly
the others loathed her
because her beauty was boundless
and her heart soft and giving
she envied no one, not even God†
she feared God† and loved God†
and shared His† love with everyone
her sisters cornered her one day
with a blade, carved up her face
she wept and prayed
forgiving them and healed
but scars remained
every day she continued
loving others and praising God†
here and there
she'd bring her hand
to her face
touching the scars
wanting to cry
but instead she'd smile
for the love of God† was in her
and her heart drew in compassion
instead of hate
loving her sisters who scared her
and praying for them
every day
her sisters witnessed this light
within the scared sister
they saw no difference in
how others looked at her
and treated her
for in spite of scars on her whole face
the beauty she radiated
was inside her whole body
this made her sisters sad
and one by one
returned to their God†
with delight and praise
for they envied their sister
and tried to take her beauty
because others treated her so much better
but even with a scared face
her beauty still shined through
and her sisters
who continued to hold in envy
and jealous over her beauty
ravished with time
and aged bitterly
so says I†, the Lord Almighty†
who gives beauty
and takes beauty
who gives time
and takes time
a lesson from the Father†
a gentleness you pass by
a loving kindness you only want
part of the time
a part of the whole
I†, the Lord Almighty†, does not love
part of the time
I† am always
through suffering and joy
through sorrow and happiness
come to Me†
with all your heart
and all your soul
and I† will give you rest
through Him†, the one head of you
what good is jealousy
or even envy
a wasted energy
put into Spirits
whose account
is to bring sin
without them
you can see Me† clearer
He† can lift them
My† Son† whom you forfeit
for luxury
of more
you didn't expect a lecture from Me, prophet?
'no,' I answered
I am the ultimate teacher. Go tell them.
I am He, the one who offers the Son for your
redemption. Tell them He is the way, says the
Almighty God of all.
[He led me to Proverbs 5:1-23, Proverbs 6:20-35, and Proverbs 7:1-5]
He asked me, 'Do you think he was talking about a woman?'
'No,' I responded.
He said, 'Correct.' Then He asked,
'What was he talking about?'
'Lustful desire,' I answered.
He said, 'Correct.' Then He asked,
'What does lustful desire lead to?'
'Envy and jealousy,' I answered.
Then He said, 'You have earned your place, prophet.'
