Spiritual Adultery Poem

Posted on by asherdc89

I have been unfaithful to you. I have betrayed your trust by following my own lust. I have disgraced my first love. 

Idols of gold, silver and diamonds have spiritually seduced me. Their beauty put me in an hypnotic trance.  Now i’m in an entanglement with a deathly dance. 

They captivated my imagination to make me want and desire them. Selling me empty dreams. So I believed in what so it seems. Causing me to go a whoring after false gods.

This addiction enslaves me to no satisfaction. I’m empty and dead inside. Chipping my soul away each day. All for the lustful pleasure of the eyes. 

Wasting my time to serve that which is dumb and blind. Who has eyes, but can’t see. Who has ears, but can’t hear. And has a mouth, but can’t speak. Consequently, I have become what I have given myself to. Unwise and foolish. Knowing I didn’t have to do this.

The desires of my heart have become perverted against my Husband. Putting bitterness for sweet love. I am so lost and confused. And have lost touch from above.

I want my Husband back. For I know His love for me is real. And His love alone can heal. He loves me selflessly, completely and perfectly. He loves me unconditionally. I am sorry. I’ve been so unappreciative. And taking His love for granted. 

I allowed the tentacles of discontentment to wrap itself around my heart. Fooling me to make me think I needed what I already have.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
