There were many times my body laid with the underserved,
Trying to claim love that was never there.
How many times did I believe in your lies?
Your “sugar daddy” pick-up lines,
Or manipulative ways of seducing in my mind,
Then, my body, into bed.
I have settled for too long.
Accepting the necessities that my body became accustomed to,
My flesh is weakened by unclean thoughts
Which from time to time, I reminisce about,
But no longer does my body make the decisions for my mind.
I stopped settling because God’s man is waiting!
My heart rejoices eve though we haven’t met.
My heart, my mind, and my soul
Are comforted by God above.
And He fills me with His unconditional love;
A love that fills every void;
A love that completes me in every way
I no longer settle
God’s man is on the way.
Author’s note
I’m just tired of settling for what I don’t deserve. I’ve learned that God has a better man for me when I patiently wait on God’s will. I’ve finally stopped settling for those dead end relationships. I have friends that are in love but the relationships are a dead end. Some men don’t want to commit, so, we accept what he has to offer. We stay in the relationship because we don’t want to lose him. I say, “girlfriend let him go!” We have everything else, but his commitment. We have the love, the relationship, the years, and even the child all before we get a real commitment. We must first grow spiritually. By growing together in Christ, there would have been a guaranteed order of things. First, starting as brother and sister in Christ
