¹⁴ The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.  - Ephesians 1:14(New Living Translation).

Seeing with the Soul

God, I need a man who loves me
I’m so alone
It scares me that
no one loves me

Child, not one, but three
love unconditionally 

Father, where? I don’t see them 

Child, look not with your eyes
but with the heart and soul 

Father, do they have eyes?
Help me, please? 

Child, you are not seeing life
with the understanding I gave to everyone
First, I created all to be like me
Next, I sent a Saviour to die for human sins
Then, I raised Him from the dead
to be with all humanity forever
and prepare a place
when believers come home to me 

Yes, Father, I understand
I just want someone with skin on him 

My child, when you truly love
the Father
the Son
and the Holy Spirit
giving praise for everything received
only then will I know
you are ready for the gift
I hear in your desire 

Open my heart and soul then Lord
that I may see as you
let me perceive according
to your will, not mine
I praise your patience
with me Father 

Note: I'm not sure why, but this verse from Ephesians inspired this poem. I'm sure this is what the Father wants from me.
