I MUST BE PREPARED
I think about these things sometimes
I wonder if I’ll know love again
I look at my track record
I wonder if I’ll try again
I wonder why I even bother.
I wonder why I yearn for it
I wonder what the future holds
I wonder every day
*
Then I’m reminded
Love is essential
Connection is mandatory
Communication is pivotal
Touch is critical
Gazes are revelational
The Father works through them
*
Papa can turn things around
Papa can shift the tide
Papa can heal a heart
Papa can make whole
*
I must be prepared
I must be secure
I must have a voice
I must be solid in faith
I must connect to purpose
I must have ground to stand on
I must understand relationship
I must understand assignment
I must be on the road to self-actualisation
*
When he blesses me with a partner
When matters of the heart arise
When the rain falls
When the moon rises
When the sun shines
When the night falls
When the day breaks
When life comes forth…
I must be ready
*
I am preparing to live fully
I am preparing to love deeply
I am preparing to be different
The lessons of my journey apply
All facets of life matter
Prepared beats attempting to prepare.
Knowing the way makes a whale of a difference.
*
Preparing to live is like preparing for war.
Soldiers practice and practice and practice
They practice for the day they’ll have to fight
They practice for the night they have to overcome
They practice for the load they must carry
They practice for the partner they must travel with
They practice as if their life depends on it
They practice because their life & success depends on it
*
Then the day comes
Because the day will come
When the day comes, they’re ready.
Even if it seems like it’ll never come,
They still prepare and practice.
Life is no different,
Preparation is key
The journey is important
So I’m off to prepare
Powerful
