COMMITMENT

 Jesus: Hello…… (No response…..so he reaches out to touch her)

Lady: Don’t touch me …

Jesus : My dear, you seemed upset.

Lady: Why won’t I be upset when the King of the Universe is the Universal set and I’m just a subset . with..no compliment

 

Jesus: May I please know why? (with a face that suggests he already knows why)

 

Lady: nothing…(in a rather upset tone)

 

Jesus: nothing? After I have given you nothing but everything, you say “nothing”. After becoming a man known for nothing but good and yet killed like a good for nothing, just for you, you still say nothing? Please tell me what happened to the sincerity with which you sang ….

 

Together : ‘touch me with your hands,

 

lady: it is true that song really touched a different wire in me but that was until certain questions started paying my mind surprise visits……

 

Together : I feel like nothing…..(both seem surprised)

Together : how?

 

Jesus :why won’t I feel like nothing when my everything sees everything I have done as nothing?

Lady : That is not it,….I just can’t fathom an atom of this matter. I know I don’t occupy so much space in the universe of significance so why on earth would you want to even touch me when masses expand like mercury with worth.

 

Jesus: My princess…

 

Lady: why would you want to touch me now when I am all covered in cinders even though I am not Ella and definitely no more your Cinderella .I thought you were the prince of peace, so why do watch me break down into pieces every time I try to stand before your seat ,right ? but left to me alone, I would be in one piece because I stand like a pirate before my treasure, the one piece… but I lack peace…

 

Jesus : When I said you are my masterpiece, I was trying to give you a glimpse of how special and important you are to me. Love with the purest love no metaphors. Have you forgotten I love a contrite and broken spirit? Have you forgotten I am the potter and you are the clay? What is the potter’s work if the clay is already in one piece and not in pieces? I thought I assured you that as long as you made effective communication, a priority in our relationship, I was going to give you the peace that surpasses all understanding. But there’s a deep chasm between your heart and the throne room of Grace.

 

Lady : I tried, I promise, I did . I kept dialing Jeremiah 33:3 but it never seemed to go through so I concluded that your line was perhaps too busy for me. I decided to wait outside the gates of the secret place just for the perfect time to enter….but I realized I had gotten used to the cool vibe outside ….I grew cold too…too cold for the heat needed in the secret place so I ended dwelling outside, in my cold state.

 

Jesus : How could my line ever be busy when you are the only contact on it? Even though it’s a 10 digit contact, I see 1 and zero-nothing, because you’re the only one. I thought you said you were mine until the day I come. What happened to that burning desire for my presence . You’re connected to your Device and not connected to the Divine. I paid the price with a sacrifice and yet you don’t come for us to dine. Even your X you check up on Him daily. You twit about everything except my sure words spoken about you. You stand in darkness holding hands with the very guy I saved you from. He twisted you to follow the attractive ways of this world… Say SINE and you signed in …. Say COS and he gave you a reason cos before you realized he asked you to say TAN( Satan)

 

Jesus: I knew you in your mother’s womb before I formed…

 

Lady: You deformed me

 

Jesus: You’re my masterpiece

 

Lady: But I’m broken into pieces

 

God: I’m with You even in the valley

 

Lady: But my life is tossed like a volley ….. I waited so long…..where were you when……

 

Together : I’ve always been here….? 

 

Lady: then….

 

Together : why couldn’t you hear me?

 

Jesus : believe me when I say, I heard every cry, saw every try and answered every prayer.Just that I honestly sometimes wondered if you ever listened. Every time I tried speaking to you, you either ignored it or mistook it for your own words worthy of neglect.  

 

Lady: but….. it sometimes felt so lonely, like you were an illusion, like you never existed after all.

 

Jesus : I existed before time began, I still exist and I will exist forever. You see, it is the disguised monster,feelings, the unseen force behind every act of man. It is so dicy, you can’t point out one thing to describe it. Just as you don’t need to see air to know air is always with you and basically sustains your life, my co-heir, make me your air.

 

Lady : I seem to have lost my qualification for eternal life.

 

Jesus : no you haven’t! 

 

Lady : yes I have!  When church bells and my phone rang, I rushed to the one l considered a call, neglecting the real call. My books seemed more important than morning devotions. I was too intimate with relationships that koinoinai became too spiritual for me. Innocence was strange to me because the ‘realities’ of life had catalyzed the growth curve of my canality.’ Time is money’ was my new anthem so I couldn’t afford to spend ‘too much time in prayer. But deep down…..

 

Together : I missed your presence…….

 

Jesus : knowing that my presence was refuge for my sheep, I never denied anyone, including you, when you came to me. However, the only pain that exceeds the ones I suffered on the cross is the pain of knowing that my bride ignores my word for my works. Wasn’t it enough miracle having my very person? It saddened me that you only rushed to my service when you were promised services.   Why do you forsake me?

 

Lady :For the sake of my soul, I took a sip of repentance but even with that I found myself committing to works and not the word, you. But was it my fault? After all, taking extra oil for the wait seemed like too much work and keeping a spotless gown felt like living a boring life.

 

Jesus : Darling, what happened to our once favorite love language, koinoinai? While I missed you, you missed me for every other thing but me. On your 10 list of prior, I thought I was the ultimate one not knowing I was the penultimate. 

Yes you placed be on number 9. 

I sought for an invite in your heart but you Denied me 

Na mekaase medi first  nanso s33 na medi 9

Yes you den9 me.

How could you go a day without me when I can’t go even a second without thinking about you?

 

Lady ; I am sorry, I felt I you were too clean for me…oh just a moment, I can clean up for you real quick….I can baptize myself with perfumes….

 

Jesus : I am the lily of the  vallies and the one who baptizes with fire.

 

Lady: I can apply foundation just for you….

 

Jesus : I am already your firm foundation 

 

Lady :what about having my lashes and nails done?

 

Jesus :I took lashes and nails for you

 

Lady :I can simply apply lip gloss just to glow for you….

 

Jesus :have you forgotten? “Christ in you, the hope of glory” there’s no need for an extra glow.

 

Lady :then what should I do?

 

Jesus : just come as you are, leave the cleaning and make up to me….

 

Lady :alright …..but one last thing, what about my stony heart?

 

Jesus : I constantly hit my head against your stony heart and lose my memory of your wrongs just so you would have a heart of flesh. Speaking of hearts, my heart beats with just one desire, that you stay committed to the course, your work and the source, your groom. Invite me and I will stay and dine now that it is almost night and the time to go home is nigh, …after the long wait. Shall we?
