Well...can we?

can we find love in a hopeless place? 
in a broken place,
in and between 
all this open space.
i reach my arm and hand out to touch you 
but there's nothing there.
hurt by the reality that in the battlefield of love, 
no hearts shall be spared
the pure hearts are the first to get wounded. 
trampled, despised.
evil eyes fixate on your wholeness it's whole life, 
conspiring a breakdown, never once anticipating a break through.

i have a secret.
if i tell you in this poem i write, 
do you promise me you'll keep it?
i've unlocked my strength by boasting in my weakness. 
the truth is: your super power dwells in the presence of meekness.
now this wisdom bestowed does not guarantee life will be light.
times may be heavy but you still fight for your right ...
to love. to be loved 
to self love
in whatever place you stand.
the fight is internal, it is not with your hands.

Thinking out loud: Kingdom Spouses

Let me just be real here, I never heard of this term until recently but this is what I gather so far. “Kingdom spouse” is a term used in the Christian community to describe a God sent union between man and woman to edify and glorify the KINGDOM of God. Hence the term: Kingdom. Essentially, two individuals who are divinely brought together to unite as one to carry out the will of God in harmony. I worded the definition myself, so it might be a little off but I hope you get my point. God certainly does align and assign people, helpmates, friends, mentors and spouses into our lives. So, I believe that although the term isn’t used in the bible, the concept is biblical but if we’re not careful the enemy can even deceive well-meaning Christians in their journey. So many prophetic words about kingdom spouses these days and I wonder if the LORD could really be speaking to someone specifically in such a general way. I’m not doubting the prophetic gift being a real thing, I’m just a skeptic. I’m...

The Virtuous Woman 💎 (Proverbs 31)

"Who can find a virtuous wife?  For her worth is far above rubies.  The heart of her husband safely trusts her;  So he will have no lack of gain.  She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.  She seeks wool and flax and willingly works with her hands.  She is like the merchant ships, She brings her food from afar.  She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household,  And a portion for her maidservants.  She considers a field and buys it;  From her profits, she plants a vineyard.  She girds herself with strength and strengthens her arms.  She perceives that her merchandise is good,  And her lamp does not go out by night.  She stretches out her hands to the distaff,  And her hand holds the spindle. She extends her hand to the poor,  Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.  She is not afraid of snow for her household,  For all her household is clothed with scar...
