I Still Believe In The Man You Left Behind
Tell me kind Sir, what have I done to deserve this treatment from you? Have I been disloyal or have I stopped believing in you as I did when we first met?
Kind Sir, again I say to you,” tell me; tell me why it is that you refuse to see yourself much less us, from my perspective? Have I not endured my fair share of this pain?
Sir, can you not see me through the eyes that once longed to look into mine seeking to find my true love for you? Finding comfort and shelter as you settled in the truth of my love.
Kind Sir, why do you ask of me to forget the true heart of this man before me and to grant his decree of divorce? The man I see honestly does not believe in the ways of "man".
Sir, why do you anger so quickly when you know that I speak God's truth? Do the words from His heart, placed upon my tongue, feel like daggers through your soul as you listen?
Tell me kind Sir, do you remember the walk we first took, you a man of God and me a woman seeking eagerly to find Him? Do you remember telling me that His path is difficult and narrow?
Now Sir, it is my turn to take hold of your hand and to take the lead in our walk, reminding you of His love and the blessings that he has bestowed upon you which have chosen to ignore.
I do not do so to make myself appear better than you. I do so, so that you might one day break free from the chains of deceit that have bound your heart against God and now against me.
If I may Sir, I still believe in the man you left behind when you made that choice to turn away. To live only for yourself regardless of the path that God had shown you or His will for you, this was your choice.
Sir, I still see that man of God who took my hand and charged my soul as we touched that first time; I see him trying to break free and help guide you back from your chaotic depths.
Kind Sir, I cannot give up on this man that I see, I have loved him from the beginning of our first meeting and I have believed in him just as long, even when you and others have not.
Sir, you try to fault me and to hurt me with your vile spew of lies, lies that you have come to believe, but I have stood strong with my God holding me up as you have tried desperately to make me fall.
Dear Sir, you have abandoned me in times past, but I will not abandon you. I still believe in the man you left behind in order to live this life you now live courting the devil as he pulls your strings.
I will never allow the devil to win against God and his will for you, nor will I permit him to destroy what God has joined together in you and me when we said "I Do".
I am very sorry kind Sir, but you first taught me that I must listen to the voice within my soul for it is the voice of God and that I must obey Him when he calls upon me to do His will.
Your eyes being blinded to the truth and your ears being deafened to the sound of His voice, I have been asked to hold on and to believe in the Him and all he shows me and to do as He asks of me.
Sir, you may strongly dislike the fact that I am standing as firmly as I am on His word and His will because you see it as interfering with your "worldly" plans for your now self-centered life.
You may even threaten my life, while trying to make your point, that it is what you want and nothing else matters. I dear Sir, still will not back down from what I know in my soul to be God's truth.
When you are finally awakened kind Sir, from this burdensome nightmare that you have been living since the moment you turned away from God, I will still be by your side and your wife.
You see Sir, I still believe in the man you left behind and I am still in love with him as well. I vowed to stand by him "for better and for worse" and in victory, I will hold his hand in mine.
I will testify to the strength given me to endure all that I have and I will not hold against you, all that you have done, because when your eyes are opened, you will be new.
New, compared to the man you try to pass yourself off to be these days, but not new to the man I see everyday through the eyes of God deep within me.
Why dear Sir, can I continue to love you as I do? Because, I believe in all that my Father has shown me and I have never given up on the man you left behind when you turned and walked away.
