He pursued
But I ignored Him
Giving Him time
But not all of it
Taking notice
But not showing it
Choosing standards
But ones below Him
He pursued
But I kept running
To the hands of men
Who were still growing
To the feet of sin
Which left me broken
To the loveless eyes
That did not know me
He pursued
Without my asking
He pursued
Despite my actions
He pursued
And sparked my interest
Just enough so that
One day I’d listen
He pursued
Even though
I thought I was undeserving
I thought this just wasn’t for me
A love so strong
No pain could break
Its powerful bond
He pursued
Even though
I thought I was not ready
I thought this was overwhelming
How could a woman
Who did not love herself
Fathom
Loving somebody else
He pursued
Even though
I kept saying no
He pursued
Even though
I kept letting go
He pursued
On one knee
With a ring to propose
He pursued
As I fled
To the lost and unknown
And He waited
Till I saw
That wasn’t my home
He pursued
With His love that is patient
He pursued
With His love that is kind
He pursued
With His love unrequited
He pursued
Till I changed my mind
He pursued
And I’m thankful
‘Cause it was His love
That saved my life

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.
