Reverse Psychology I and Ii

I. God desires your faith my dear, Sorry, I just know it's true, It's not really in my pay grade To explain God's love to you. With meager faith I also struggle Don't feel like you flail alone, Loving others seems to help though When He calls you to atone. Don't just reach out for what you're lacking Open up to servant's call, Giving what you need to others, Might be what serves you best of all. II. So sorry that your hurting, wish it wasn't so So sorry that your angry, wish that wasn't true What qualifies me to act as God' ally? It's certainly not strength or virtue No, just my brokenness is why. No answer really, even where to go And what you feel is smugness speaking, That I'm here to show you cure, Is just a soul like you that's seeking No illusions that I'm pure. Sharing only what has served me With no judgments to apply, Knowing that your path is not mine, Still would hold you when you cry Still would be your valentine. Do not wish you harm, not your enemy, Don't suggest your words are crap Or with you more than reason, A friend it seems you won't unwrap, In this or any season. And though I hate to be a bore, You really think you can't love more? If service is your joy in life Why now so sad that you're a wife! ? Choose to show that you are free.
