Who Feels it Knows it

I know how it feels

Have you ever been passionate about something or someone

Well let me tell you what am passionate about
Listening and been part of someone history
I have learnt compassion because God has shown me compassion

I will smile to cheer you up, Because I have received a stern face while all I longed for was a smile

I will hold my tears to cry with you because I understand the pain of crying alone and wishing for someone to wipe my tears or be there

I will allow you to lean on my shoulders or even sleep on them not because am well but because I understand how to need shoulders or even a whole body to lean on and not find one.

I will cover your nakedness and be there till you access your peace again, Because I know how shame feels and how its deep wounds pierce the heart and the time it takes to heal.

I will be patient ,tolerant ,forgiving, as you heal because I understand how our childhood traumas have conformed us to patterns and behaviors that we desire to outgrow and overcome but we always receive timelines and fingers pointing at our failures, mistakes, inadequacy and judgment instead of seeing, appreciating and recognizing our efforts, strengths and gifts,

I will encourage and uplift your soul not because am good at it but because I have been at the bottom, in the pit and in the deep sea
I will give all my time and energy not because it’s my love language but because there days all I needed was undivided attention, and support.

I will listen to understand as long as it takes time and energy not because I have all the time and energy but because I have been there wanting intentional commitment to no avail
I will sacrifice not because I want to be loved back but because I have been in those shoes where all I desired was a little sacrifice.

I will be merciful and non-judgmental not because you deserve it but because I have been judged, and I know the pain
I will appreciate you because I know how wonderful and enlightening it is when someone sees you.

What am trying to say is I would want to be remembered as someone who never let a friend face their battle alone.

I have been in the wilderness I know the pain of been unheard, unseen, misunderstood, rejected, devalued but it didn’t kill me instead it brought pain that awakened my heart, my soul, spirit into discovering and pursuing my Maker, The Lord God, The Author of my life

In Him I have accessed peace that surpasses the understanding of men,
I have known joy and unconditional love
I have received grace and strength,
And my freedom, discovering my purpose and assignment.

Am yet to become but the journey am now in is enriching, inspiring and filled with more reasons to be grateful

I would be fulfilled in helping you discover God, seeking the Kingdom and it’s righteousness, establish inner peace and maintaining it.
