With Purpose

Ya..I know...shame on me,
That I waited this long to tell you everything,
But here's the truth, if I told you right away,
Would you really take seriously what I had to say,
You didn't take me serious when I shared my heart just a little,
You assumed just another needy heart you could berate and belittle,
And that's exactly what you did from the door,
The rumors were proved true, need I say more,
My reliance on God is very strong,
I didn't need you to fix anything in my life that was wrong,
But I shared for a purpose, that was all true,
I tested the spirit that I thought I knew,
God didn't tell me to sit back and play stupid,
He said get up and move and I will take you through this,
And you can go back and compare all your notes from the start,
Because when this happened, God immediately changed your hearts,
I stood from a distance, and watched God move,
I will never regret what he placed in my heart to do.
