When I Became a Man: the words of how a player's love towards women and men was made anew.




BornAgain#4: A Player becoming a Man by being born again

Before I was a man:

"I learned by example, let your mouth spit game, but never let your heart say much"

When I became a man: 

"I learned how to love God right back. And even though I'm God at falling short of the glory, I reflect back on my story. And through my praise I'll self-publish a testimony. When I became a man I learned how to cry. Coz I'm not afraid of my tears neither of my tears, muffling and groaning in my spirit. Since I became a man, I'm no longer afraid of the dark: I wrap my fingers around James 5:16: confess, pray and heal my heart. I discovered there are medicinal qualities down the corridor of introspection. 

When I became a man. I learned how to love her: my Ester, my Ruth. I learned how to honour her like Jesus's mother. Because one day she'll be pregnant with the seed that will transport my legacy so that my God and my name will have lonbgevity long after they bury me. My insecurities and my perfectionism had me looking at the next best player checking in at the scorers player. I couldn't love her before because I wasn't able. How could I possibly be her covering as an umbrella with holes in it. But I learned to love her like I oughta. Because I want Him to be my father and my father in law, since that's His daughter.

When I became I man I learned to love my brother. I'll share my heart, my hug, my hallelujah. Because a hug and a hallelujah without my heart leaves rooms for his heart to respond: I never knew you. I became a man, so that until he became a man, he could see a (neighbor?) man who picked up the gospelwho picked up the gospel, who picked up the gospel, who picked up the gospel and put the toys away, when I became a man."
