Encouragement
She had labored hard for years
her small and tall dreams brought pain
her business falls
she became homeless
unable to pay her bills
she fed from different houses
trekking day by day
and became a liability to her brethren
a burden to her own blood.
She prayed and prayed and prayed
but the Lord chooses to remain silent
or she can't hear the spirit voice
when he speaks
because her heart is heavily wearied
days passes on to years
while she wept like the abandoned child
the more she meditated on God's word
even then her help seems far off.
She begged for arms from her younger ones
those who once looked up to her for support
her daughter can't find any nickle
from her red purse
the people disregard her opinion
and the friends she did supported through life
financially and materially left her behind
while she galloped to make ends meet
even her peers despises her voice.
'Maybe I am under a curse.'her root torments her
even the man she loved
threatens to leave her...
'If God is concerned and knows about my case.'
'when will he answer my petition?'
she lamented alone,
But she never knew...
Such is the fate of every child
with a peculiar destiny
her travails were designed to build her faith
like Gold, refined by fire
Like 'Ruth' who was not a covenanted daughter
through bitterness she did embraced her destiny
when she wiped her eyes and swore
never to part with her mother-in-law.
Her mountains moved by that decision
who became her deliverer?
was it not her maker who secured her future
and by divine arrangement positioned her helper
He rebuild her faulty foundation
never to know any man after the flesh
or put her trust on the strength of man
weeping may endure for the night
but joy would surely come in the morning
for every child with a sense of purpose
that is passing through the wilderness of life.
