GOD, WHY ARE YOU ARE AFRAID OF ME

In dear expectation of His glory
I need such a word to comfort my yearnings.
I cannot stand the deafness of time and ages
I just want to hear Him speak,
May be to my mind.
I have been flogged by desires.
Needs or want, won’t bother to understand
My thought’s present plight.
Just looking forward that He may speak,
And politely speak to my heart,
My project and preserved fears and  weaknesses
Only the word to face tomorrow.

 But He thinks differently!
In the dusk of time
He cleared His throats and spoke gently
“I am scared of you!”
Scared of me?
Why?
My heart clicked a new orientation;
Why is He scared of me!
My state of heart at that moment!
What has this got to do with my searching desires?
But He is scared of me!

 “Where are you? “
He sounded with a deeper and sincere voice
Yet with a compassionate tone.
Where am I?
That’s not an issue!
I am willing to let Him know or come there?
If only He’ll speak comfortably about my desire!
“Why are you there?”
He knows? But what do I say!
May be I should let Him know it’s not my fault!
Cringing with dead fears
Wrapped with my obstinate scheme
To get it done my own way,
But still needs His endorsement!

 “Why is your heart filled with hate!
Why do you think you are Naked!
What have you done,
And why have you done this?”
But still not my faults,
I printed boldly!
Then He said
“Hmmmm! I am afraid of you!”
Your heart is corrupt!
You’ ll pollute every blessed piece
I give to you!
In this your state!

 I am afraid of the contents of your heart!
It cannot guarantee purity!
“Hmmmmm! I’ll need to rework!
Or
I may need to discard!
Or
I ‘ nay  need to recruit another!
Or
I nay need to reorganise the team
Or
I’ll need to wait for another one to take over!”

 Where are you going!
Its my choice!
Your choice is not smart,
So, I made mine!
What are you doing here?
Just taking a nap,
I am really tired and threatened,
By your instruction!
I do not mind, if you take me away, Lord!

 “Where is your brother!”
Brother! I have a lot to settle about my life
I need help!
Why should I focus on helping some!
“Hmmmmm! Your heart is weak!”
“Who can I send and who can go for us?”
If you like, Send any one you feel like!
I am now still cultivating my desire!

 “Do you know me?
What do you think I am ?”
A lot was written about you!
But how is this concern!
“Hmmmmm!
Your Heart is an hindrance to my manifestation!”

Search me the deepest Lord
And help me the greatest.
How I  look externally may not bother him
But He assessed the intent of the heart.
Prudent or foolish!
Proud or humble!
He’ll assessed the intent of the heart
And confidently say
“I am secured or I am scared!”
