Not Afraid to Love You

Not Afraid to Love You

It’s apparent that no one escapes life’s vicissitudes,

Looking past your pulchritude into the deeper you, I see that heartache has visited you too!

You’ve been lied to, left to linger and languish,

your heart has been crushed by grief and anguish;

devastated by deception & bruised by betrayal,

cast down in spirit and lost in multiple layers – of darkness,

disappointment and unfulfilled needs and desires,

your heart wants to love, but the gooduntil date has expired!

You’ve become disillusioned and darkened by the hurtful acts of the one you trusted to love you back.

Hemmed in and corralled by cunning manipulation, he said you had freedom, but that came with stipulations.

He promised to love, honor and protect, but you’ve experienced very little in the way of respect.

Your heart cries out in the darkness and despair, wondering in the midst of your pain if God’s really there.

He promised that he would not forsake, leave, or fail you in any way, yet the enemy has wreaked unbridled havoc to your dreams, draining you of your strength is seems, if he’s anything at all, he’s mean.

You’re wondering, where is the man that will hold you and chase away the fears, what happen to the lover that would tenderly caress away your tears?

What happened to that gentle yet powerful specimen that will lesson all your stressing while you travel through your testing?

With all your baggage and all that you’ve been through, you are wondering what good can possible follow the abuse.

Know that in all the hurt that you’ve been through, I am not afraid to love you.

 God built me to be big enough to shield you from the terror of your past;

He built me to be committed enough to make it last.

He built me to be strong enough to bear the weight of your hurt

He built me to be wise enough to make it work.

He built me to be broad enough to cover you;

He equip me with the vision to see us through

I’m not intimidated by the size of your pain or your past.

I am not shaken by the daunting task,

Of loving you past all you’ve been through

I’m not afraid to love you.

God knew that you needed a man uniquely equipped to handle all that is you collectively.

Although he designed me perfect initially, I have become what I did habitually

Contaminated by secular infiltration, heart darkened by the physical manifestation of a break in my relation that brought massive devastation. I have desired for God to return me to the initial state of my creation.

So he stepped down from heaven and dissected my being

Implanted a new heart within that affected my seeing. He transfused my contaminated bloodline with the His blood and infected my weak mind with the divine.

With a renewed spirit and a heart captivated by God Himself

I receive you with a tenderness that has become the vault where your heart is kept.

Yes, you’ve been troubled by so many impersonators, pretending to be me but your problems they exacerbated.

In all that has become your truth, I’m not afraid to love you.

Your hope has waned because of un-kept promises and pure dereliction

I come to heal you through a loving benediction.

I speak life through prayer and in specific description

Lifting you as I personally anoint your daily mission.

As I carefully touch each individual part

I speak life through my lips as it flows from my heart.

God, bless her eyes so she only sees you, anoint her lips so that she only speaks truth.

Guard her ears so that no evil comes through

As I hold your hands I speak that power flows constantly through them

Empowering you to touch a life and glorify Him.

Even your feet I hold as I speak they are kept

Lord empower her walk and guide every step.

I’m not frightened by all you’ve been through, I’m not afraid to love you!

I’m the manifestation of your prayers for someone to love away the hurt

I’m the physical expression of God’s responsive words.

I am the healing balm that erases the pain, eliminates the shame, covers the blame and gives you a new last name.

I’m the repairer of the breach and the guarder of the gate,

I’m the same man that promised you I’d wait.

I’m the man whose vision is designed to encompass you

The king that will make you my queen and edify you.

I’m the man that will infuse my love into the deepest recesses of your existence,

The man that will fulfill every one of your wishes

The man that will induce an elevated heartbeat when I enter the room

The king that will caress you with truth

I am not afraid to love you!
