โจ
Our Father
Who art in heaven
It's me again
You already know
What I'm going to say
Because you made my heart
Yours
You see what I see
through Your Spirit in me
You know how I feel
Because You made me
To be in Your Likeness
When I look back at
My life until now
It's starting to make sense
At night, You stand over me
And let me cry
Watching my hot tears
Shatter me into a million pieces
Because my tears
Mixed with my dust
Create the clay of me
That You've been using
Since I was born
To shape me
And every morning the mess
Is gone when I wake up
And now I think back.
Me not fitting in
Was You setting me apart
Me being suppressed
Was Your pressure creating a diamond
Me being taunted
Was You building my resilience
Me being violated
Was You gifting me forgiveness
Me being emotionally abused
Was You increasing my empathy
My scars are
Your beauty marks
You created me
But that was
just the beginning
From the dust of my nothingness
You spoke me into flesh
And You have been
Building me ever since
Adding with intent
Layer upon layer
You giving me trials
Was me becoming strong
You gifting me Discernment
Was me becoming certain
You gifting me the Spirit
Was me being given authority
I was forged in the fire
You gave me a Sword
Made just for me
You hammered my armor to fit
My soul perfectly
When You watched me
poking holes in it
You quietly repaired it
And left a note with it
" I've always been there.
I've always
Seen you
Heard you
Loved you
Corrected you
Comforted you
Carried you
While I was waiting
Until you were ready
To carry my banner.
All of this is what it takes
To make a warrior".

"No more poking holes."

โPut on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.โ
