the pursuit of you part 5: His eyes beheld the beauty of spirit

 

His eyes beheld the beauty of the spirit. 

I've never seen a spirit shine as her.

Like the littlest star shines the brightest in the night sky.

I'm lost in her stare, so much so that my eyes blur,

But I never lose the image, my reason why.

I love her for her fiery spirit that burns.

The one who endured when the world tried to crush her,

I don't hesitate to touch her soul, my heart yearns,

I watch as she prays before the king, bearing all of herself.

And I saw through the eyes of heaven, 

Not with the eyes of man, 

The confidence of a humble woman,

In her presence, only a man worthy and rooted in Christ can stand. 

Favor does not chase; it attracts. 

And I am drawn to her orbit, 

She is grounded by the rock, 

And I stand steady beside her. 

I would never dim her shine, 

My light will be right there next to hers,

Together we advance the Kingdom of heaven,

Our King has spoken. 

1 Samuel 16:7 (ESV)
“For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

Proverbs 18:22 (KJV)
“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.”

may we look with spiritual eyes to truly see the beauty of a fellow image bearer.

While i wait part 5: queen bee

 

Queen bee

Oh yes, it's me again, come see,

Here to shake the world, baby,

There's only room for one queen bee,

And I'm the blueprint, not a copy.

I dance to the beat of my own drum.

You're shook, you've been thunderstruck.

A vagabond on the run,

Not from something but to something better, 

ordained, not luck.

Alright, I'll slow it down a bit,

put the brakes on down for ya.'

From a boil to a simmer,

 How you figure,

That anyone can be like me, a redeemed sinner.

Christ took away the shame,

A reclaiming of self now is the cause.

And yes, sista got sass in personality. This is no game.

Here comes the applause,

Positivity chant,

Never tell a woman redeemed that she can't.

● Judges 4:9 – 'So she said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless, there will be no glory

for you in the journey you are taking, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a

woman.”'

● Micah 6:8 – 'He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of

You but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?'

****

not about pride, but humility and strength of character again. knowing who you are in Christ.
