Compliment not complete

I woke up this morning and decided to be about my Father’s business

No longer will I march to my own beat

Go along with worldly ways and comments

 

I was bought at a higher price

And it is my right to trust my worth

I am Henni Benddels latest in a diamond case

My eyelashes blink with rose petals

To adorn the windows of my soul because I’m His child

Draped in the finest threads

I walk with wisdom between my toes

And kindness lies between my lips and tongue

 

I am powerful

 

I am a woman

 

Built by the original architecture

Face so pretty

Personality so unique

My portrait was done

Before the painter picked up a brush

And found me

 

Yes you, the painter, You found me

On the intersection or rebirth and all God knowing

 

I knew God before I knew myself

I knew myself before I knew you

And now that you have found me I don’t know me

I can no longer be identified

 

Straying so far away from where I was to be

I’m afraid The Great I am

Won’t recognize my voice

I’ve made an idol out of you Mr. Painter

I played the fool many times

Like a true Tyler Perry victim

            Beautiful woman turned dumb for a man

But this is not God’s plan for me

 

A wife and mother are to be designed of wisdom

Proverbs 31 describes my promised destiny

I can no longer deny me

To compensate for your insecurity

A true leader is humble enough to know thyself so well

They don’t need to downplay others in order to know their worth

So yes I will submit

But only to God’s calling and God’s will that he spoke to you for us

 

I will build my path on His plan

Design our home under His  vision

Care for our children as I am called

 

You can no longer be my only source of Happiness

Because God called me to a life of abundance some time ago

So I won’t wait on your compliments to feel beautiful

Wait on your thank you to feel appreciated

Because God promised my reward comes from Him

 

I can’t rely on small gifts, cards, kinds words, smiles, and your kind gentle kisses as my treasure

It now lies in my service to the Lord

 

I submit to the God in you

And respect the marriage He designed

 

But to continue to overlook myself, I cannot

A man must love a woman like he loves himself

He is the nurturer to Her so that she has honey to pass to the family

 

So no longer will I deny me

When I deny myself I deny Him

And if don’t maintain myself you could

Be a short a  rib
