Listen
God is not male.
Ain’t no ‘one pair of boxers 5 days in a row’ brother can clean up a mess like my God.
Y’all know how to burn up bridges into ashes.
He keeps taking that ash, trading it for beautiful bridges.
Since I was a baby
He has been wooing me, where there are no bridges he cuts the ocean into 2 just so I get to Him.
He’s never been thirsty.
I drink from Him, the river.
My cup that doesn’t run dry.
No 2 minute noodle items.
A whole book given as a love letter.
Your fingers would fall off if ever you typed.
‘I love you’ in full.
God has never forgotten to call…
the sun back at night or
to gift me with flowers…
every spring.
He shows up to our dates with a rainbow.
I’m still tryna’ figure out which ‘red for danger’ you are.
God is not female either;
Big black woman , you say?
Hair flipping, finger snapping
‘Sorreh but nah’!
Okay, He’s a gold digger.
Only, after He extracts for gold out of our souls he presents it to us as crowns.
Not to buy fake skin bags that carry shades of unforgiveness,
Concealers that do a poor job at masking hatred ,
That lipstick that fails to
stick our lips together so that we never swallow each other’s smiles.
He doesn’t have eyes that lit up whenever a friend starts climbing her own ladder, looking up and singing ‘Impossible impossible’.
If God was female some of you wouldn’t be here
God still undecided about which nose to give you.
Ladies imagine,
one of the angels asking you about a story that God promised He wouldn’t repeat to anyone.
Who would we run to when He was having an attitude moment?
No, God is not female.
He is the Great I Am
He breathes out the solar system
His Voice is like the sound of many waters.
He knows all things.
He is everywhere.
He has all power.
He is above time.
He is the eternal King.
God is God.
