I Will Wait for You Too!
What was I thinking when I stepped from under the covering of
His will;
Seeking my own self will under the guise of keeping it real?
Woman after woman, I went through all the while looking for
you,
But each encounter left me empty and dead because my life
lacked truth.
One woman had your eyes, yet, your transformational power
she lacked;
One had your curvaceous hips, but she fell short of your
intellect.
There was the one out west, that presented the silhouette of
a woman of God,
But she wasn’t you either, her heart not hidden in Christ
and purity not kept before the Lord.
Finally the storm
shook the core of my being and shifting my paradigm,
I now see through a
different lens that you will come to me in God’s time.
So, I will wait for
you too!
I will no longer be
willing to settle for any impersonator, real shallow but pretending to be
greater.
No, I will not
receive Delilah as my truth, I will wait on God to deliver me Ruth,
I will wait on you
because you will cover my vulnerability with a gentle strength;
I will now recognize
you although the shadows have you hid, because a closer look will reveal that
you bear my missing rib.
That symbol of my
vulnerability that only that one whose heart is hidden in Christ has the power
to seal.
It’s the Christ in you that allows you to see through my
weakness and acknowledge my ability.
You understand that even a strong man grows weary in the
battle,
So you come and settle my spirit when I become frustrated
and embattled.
For me, you are the
symbol of God’s truth, this is why I will wait for you too.
This heart I have to cover is for you and you alone,
Trusting it to someone else was foolish; no wonder my house
was never a home!
I will wait on you, because you will expect me to caress your
soul before I ever touch your body, knowing that something unique is being
cultivated.
You will not want a moment of selfish pleasure to rob of us
of the forever that God has created.
Before time began,
God loved me, and he proved it best at Calvary, but to solidify the point he
designed you just for me.
A beautiful
expression of love divine, intertwined in your smile and inextricably bound to
your gait. No wonder my heart now demands that I wait.
No, I will no longer
be impressed by poor impressions of you, with no depth and no follow through,
I will not be pulled
in by the cunning and subtle misrepresentations of truth.
I will wait for you
too!
I will wait for the
one that has the virtue of Ruth and the wisdom of Naomi, A woman whose heart
searches my very being and understands me because she was designed by God to
know me.
I will wait for that
woman that has the insight of Rehab and the honor of Hanah, the boldness of
Deborah and the patience of Sarah.
I will wait for the
one who has the regal presence of Esther, designed to be the king’s queen and
equipped to be all that the king needs.
I will wait for that
one that has the generous spirit of Abigail, the praying spirit of Priscilla and
the audacity of Jael.
Yes my queen, I will
wait for you too. I will wait to honor you and all that you are. I will wait to
cover you in mind, in spirit, and heart.
My heart senses your
presence nearby, our spirits being drawn together by the one on high.
If you are not here
by tomorrow or even next week, do not become frenetic or unglued, you see my
love, no hurry, I will wait for you too!

This is so awesome Dr. Rick Wallace. Many men should feel the same way and study this poem so they can measure up to what God requires of man of God when seeking a rib!

Hello Dr. Vercher It is always a blessing to receive your insight and feedback. I pray that this poem will inspire men to rise up and live within the original design. I also pray that it will encourage women that there are Christian men out there that are ready and capable to be there Boaz. ~ Dr. Rick Wallace
