Seal upon my heart (a love poem to God

I’ve learned the sound of silence,

The echo of my prayers,

Late nights talking to Heaven

Like You’re sitting in the chair.

I wanted hands and kisses,

But You taught my soul to stand,

You loved me in the waiting

Before I ever met a man.

You traced my scars like scripture,

Called my wandering heart home,

Said, “Daughter, you are chosen

But love is never rushed or owned.”

So seal me on Your heart,

Not borrowed, not halfway,

I won’t trade holy fire

For a spark that fades away.

I am Yours, and I am ready,

But I will not run ahead 

Love will find me standing still,

With my vows already said.

I’ve been a garden guarded,

Not afraid of how I bloom,

I carry joy and thunder,

Make a sanctuary of a room.

If he comes, he’ll come with reverence,

With a steady, patient flame,

He won’t chase my body first 

He’ll learn my soul and say my name.

He’ll see the woman, not the ache,

The crown before the dress,

A man who knows that covenant

Is how you love me best.

So seal me on Your heart,

Not borrowed, not halfway,

I won’t trade holy fire

For a spark that fades away.

I am Yours, and I am waiting,

Not alone, not afraid

What You promise, You will finish,

Every vow You’ve ever made.

I won’t make an idol of the dream,

Or confuse desire with need,

If love is coming for me,

It’ll come clean, it’ll come free.

He’ll kneel before You first,

Then rise and take my hand,

Two hearts in full surrender,

That’s how forever stands.

If I walk the aisle someday,

It won’t be chasing rescue or relief,

It’ll be two whole people saying yes

Because we already believe.

So seal me on Your heart,

Write my name in grace,

I am not afraid of waiting

If it keeps me in Your ways.

I am loved, I am pursued,

I am covered, I am known

Whether now or in the promise,

I have never walked alone.

And when love comes looking for me…

I’ll already be home.

Song of Solomon 8:6 (KJV)
“Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death…”

While waiting, i draw near to God, and if my love story unfolds differently than how i imagined? well, theres still priase on my breath!

 The  Farewell (You will see me again) (in Honor of Pastor and Prophet Ron Miles)

What tangled webs the spinners would have woven, had they had no sense of direction,

Yet the wise shepherd did not leave us without good instruction. 

Leaving behind a sure strong foundation,

In the legacy he left behind, we find our consolation. 

We remember not the sadness of a life passing on high,

But the memories of his teaching, his humanity, and his love as he soars up to the sky

Forever with the Lord in heaven,

We who are his sheep, are to carry out the mission, for he indeed was given a vision.

To share the gospel to every man, woman and child,

Being ushered in by other entrusted shepherds all the while. 

To heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead to life, resuscitation

To walk in and speak of the truth which is an act of love, not a point of contention.

He left this world parting with “take care of the flock, oh dear children, the little ones among you, let them not be deceived”

“Both in stature and in spiritual maturity, grow them up, prepare their hearts to receive.” 

“Teaching them to be rapture ready,

And to stand firm, and hold them steady” 

“I must go on before you dear ones, but this is not the end,

Should you endure to the very end, you will see me again” 

“And to the flock, i wont leave you without a covering,

My servants who i trained and prepared for this, will not leave you lacking” 

“You all must now go and be about the Father’s business, 

Carrying on with the mission.” 

“Though i ascend to heaven, yet is it in humility,

For i must decrease so that Christ may increase” 

“Remember what i have taught you, stay true to the faith,

Stray not and stay on the path of the deposit of faith i have given down to you. For,  i should think i also, have the Spirit of God. Amen”
