I stood ankle-deep in holy water, arguing with God about purity. He answered by waiting. And when I finally allowed Him near, the heavens opened—not because I was right, but because I stepped aside.

I am not the Groom, only the friend who hears His step. The Bride is wounded, yet still beloved. Let Him increase—and let me love enough to wait.

I came unclean and unnamed, knelt without argument, and felt a hand where fear once lived. I left healed, unheard, yet strangely whole—learning that prayer is not the cure for silence, but the place where leprosy finally lets go.

I asked what Spirit moved my words,
and found the answer waited there—
not in applause or polished truth,
but where the wounded breathe a prayer.

I rowed with stone inside my chest, Mistaking effort for belief. You walked beside my frozen fear And waited for my grief. Not every heart breaks with a blow—Some melt when touched by grace. You did not shatter hardened stone; You entered my small space.

I came asking for bread, but was handed a basket. I feared there was not enough, until I gave it away.

I withdrew my demand, not my devotion. I laid down the hammer to lift the lamp. For the Kingdom does not advance by erasing scars, but by letting light touch them at last.
