Poem Title:
Poem
Lord, You see my heart. You know it better than I do. You know the prayers I can't even put into words, The longings I don't fully understand, The love I feel but don't know where to place. If it is Your will, if it is part of Your plan, Let me love her as You have called me to love. Not with fleeting passion, not with shallow emotion, But with a love that mirrors Yours Steadfast, selfless, pure. If I am ever to be her man, Let me be more than just someone who stands beside her. Make me a man who kneels for her in prayer, Who leads with humility, Who protects not just her heart, but her soul. Let me be the kind of love that draws her closer to You, That reminds her, in every moment, That she is deeply known, cherished, and chosen First by You, then by me. I do not ask for love that is easy, But love that is true. Love that endures the storms, That grows through every trial, That finds its strength not in me, not in her, But in You. Let me be the man who speaks life into her when she doubts, Who lifts her up when she is weary, Who sees her not just for her beauty, But for her heart, her faith, her purpose. Let me love her as Christ loves the Church Sacrificially, patiently, with a love that does not break. And Lord, if this love is not part of Your plan for me, If she is not the one You have written in my story, Then let me love her still By praying for her, by honoring her, By rejoicing in the woman You are shaping her to be. Let me never hold onto her tighter than I hold onto You. Because before she is anyone's, she is Yours. And before I am anyone's, I am Yours. So I leave this love in Your hands, Knowing that You write stories Far greater than I ever could. Amen.
