As a male, I actually struggled with the same thing. As someone who was single his entire life, I was looking for a relationship to satisfy me more than the God of all satisfaction. But I give God all honor and praise, for while I cried out to Him in idolatry, He replied with His Son, revealing to me what was truly important. Now, I seek godliness in a woman above all else. Above my preferences and above earthly beauty. Because Proverbs 31 would say that beauty is fleeting, but what's truly important is a woman who has a heart after God. And in the meantime, I live my life for His glory.
that's good chriss that kind of sounded like poetry but besides I think that its then that God can bless you. I don't think he would want to bless you with a wife to take his place, if you weren't seeking him then with a wife it would be harder... God bless
Godisawsome Exactly! It's just as easy to idolize a wife as it is to idolize WANTING a wife. The ultimate goal is to be satisfied ultimately in Christ, and if a godly woman comes along who is interested in marriage, then it is just as good.
You have no idea how amazing it is to know that there are guys out there who seek Jesus above everything.. because ultimately, only when a man love Him more than anything else, can he love a woman as Christ loves the church,. I hope He sends you one straight from heaven. All the best...
Cindy Adem Yes, godly men are out there, and it is good to desire one, but we must make sure our desire for God and His will for our life exceed our desire for marriage. My prayer last week was, "God, if my loneliness is the only suffering in my life that will bring me to the cross of Christ, then please keep me single for life." We must make sure that our love for God is leaps and bounds over our desire for a mate. That's not to say that I will stop searching for a godly woman of God, but that the search will not be out of a feeling of deficiency, but rather a feeling of joy. So when pursuing a relationship I ask myself, "Am I pursuing her because I feel like I need something in my life?" because if the answer is yes, I need to force myself to step away. The right answer is, "I'm pursuing this woman of God because I want her to join me in proclaiming God's gospel to the world and enjoy God's design of marriage for humanity." This life is a battle to see Christ as more satisfying than everything this life has to offer. Stay strong in Christ, sister! Grace and peace!
I have never really though of it that way, Now that you have mentioned it, I think I will make that my prayer too. God knows loneliness is not a very pleasant situation for us humans. However, I think its more important to Him that we spend eternity with Him than us creating an idol of a mate and ending up in a not-so pleasant place. God knows if it was upto us, we wouldn't choose to endure it. But with the constant, persistent renewal of our minds, He makes it not just easier but also worthwhile. I can say with confidence (without ever worrying that I might have to take it back) that JESUS is the best thing that ever happened to me. Thank you Chris for the food for thought. May God keep blessing you :-)
"If your search for love has stolen your reverence for God, you have made a modern day Baal out of a relationship" Im done! This piece is friggin amazing!
I want to be your friend...! Too many sisters have fallen. I was one of them, and I see the light. And, I know that Christ is the source of all life. You have a gift Jackie Hill.
Praise Jesus! This woman is off the chain man! Ladies ladies. Fall in love with the Lord first. Had to learn that the hard way but I'm so glad I know the truth now and it has set me free:) no other man like my Savior :)
This is so edifying. God bless you Jackie! I found out about you through a Priscilla Shier video. I asked God to speak to me through a video. She was interviewing you, and I'm not going to lie, at the beginning I was like God how does this relate to me? I kept watching it, and your testimony amazed me! And the ending, this poem! I was in tears when I heard it! It open my eyes through the season I'm going and it gave me strength to keep seeking Him and put Him as my first priority. When I get my weak moments, I listen to this over and over again. It's so powerful! So I want to thank you!
"I'm sorry for giving something you created away to someone you created believing they would do better with it than you"... cuts straight to the point! awesome!
"If his walk aint like your heavenly Dad then run...I suggest you steal back your heart from whatever man has it sitting on the same table he plays spades with" hahahaha I love this! ♥ This poem is raw, cutting and bold! This girl got maddd talent. God bless you!
Sister Lilly, whether you like her message OR NOT;whether you like the author OR NOT; how difficult could it be to simply say, congratulations? People change. Sometimes the change is motivated by others or inspired by God, and this seems to be her story, her PURPOSE. God planted one inside of of you too. Congraulations Sister Jackie....
What a words Smith.. lyricists... your play on words..Man.. you chop it up... the metaphors... pure class... Many are searching for that perfect love.. many through loneliness.. feeling emotional needieness... or searching comfort.. Put God in the forefront he will fulfil the desires of your heart.. he will direct your path.. as it says your steps are ordered by the Lord.. "in God in whom will i trust." cast all your fears on him.
Powerful message even 8 years later I Love you Jackie most importantly .I relate to your story I too was attracted to girls at a very young age was attracted to girls .But God is the 1
This was an "on time" word for me. I'm so grateful God lead me to hear this poem at this appointed time. Praise God for your gift of spoken word. God bless you.
Yes Lord, No man can come before my Jesus that's why I will continue to wait on you until you are ready for me to meet with my husband. I would be lying if I said it doesn't get lonely or at times very hard but patience is a virtue. I would rather wait instead of failing at the same mistakes and being dangerously in love, well said Mrs. Hill and thank you Jesus for the anointing you have placed within her to minister to the rest of us
The Lord lead me to this... Powerful and I feel like I've been disappointing God so much. I just *need* to give it all to Him. Today is the day that I do so.
Amen! Jackie Hill you are truly blessed. May the Lord continue His work in you! This poem/spoken word truly spoke into my heart! Praise God and bless His holy name!
Soooooooooo true and amen and amen to everything she said..... Youth these days gotta hear this and PRACTICE this... we got so many young girls wanting a diamond ring or a boo and giving up the opportunity of giving God the best of their youth... they wanna grow up to quickly then it'll be too late when they realize the mistakes they've made.... may God keep blessing the P4C Ministry!!!!! Such awesome talent in deed.
This is my favourite...literally listen to frequently coz it's truly a reminder and wake up call that God is my saviour and no man can do His job. First time I heard this it was a serious K.O! Lol praise be to God.Many women need to hear this..coz we get disappointed expecting a mere man to do/be what only God can do/be. Thank you Jackie x
I remember the first time I ever saw this video and how the words of truth shook my soul and brought so much clarity to my mindset as a single woman who was striving yet struggling to stay pure & please Christ. Now as a married woman I’m even more thankful that I was exposed to this truth during that time. I was blessed to meet you twice at a Poems in Autumn event in Jackson, MS and I pray that you & your beautiful family continues to prosper and share the Gospel to the masses. Be blessed my dear sister.
Amen! Women know your worth! God will not give you any man he will give you someone who will be Godly nurturing and a real man who knows how to love a wife just trust God's judgment.
Peace. I like this line. "I'm sorry for giving something you created away, To someone you created, believing they would do better with it than... YOU. She's speaking the truth. I'd come through here every so now and again but it's time I subscribed. Peace everybody.
"A man who has yet to be led by the Spirit of God cannot lead you to anywhere but to himself." "The King of the Jews was hung up for you, so hang up on that other dude, I'm telling you." DROP THEM BARS, JACKIE!!!
JACKIE!!! I stumbled on this video on accident and I CRIED MY EYES, MY THROAT...MY WHOLE FACE OUT. I was a spoken word artist just like yourself in high school, but when that so-called "love of my life", on-and-off guy I was in a relationship finally called it quits, I haven't found the wits or the will to write anymore. Not even about how that situation was my greatest testimony that led me to God...Long story short, thank you 4 empowering women while giving back glory 2 God. Be in touch soon:)
Amen! Thank you for sharing this! I was like this outwardly and in my heart. Thankful for what God is doing within and as a single woman, learning my value and resetting my eyes on Him. God Bless Jackie!
Jackie I love this wisdom you are spitting. You are a blessing. Keep on humbling yourself at the feet of Jesus and continue to let him use you to use this awesome gift you have of the Spoken Word for his glory. Blessing.
Yes I'm a man but this still speaks to me cause I've spent a good portion of life seeking a relationship that would offer me the love i always wanting from a woman but now I realize that God can only love me the way that I seek to be love. No mere woman can love me the way that God loves me.
THIS GIRL IS AWESOME< .... I love her... Thank you Lord for bringing a woman of God to speak to us ignorant ones..... And to help us draw closer to YOU.
:'( my situation and now I realise how he wasnt worth it... gave up so much but I know the Lord restores... and Jesus is the only man that can save me...
"I'm sorry for giving something you created away to someone you created believing they would do better with it than you" -Jackie Hill
‘’He was hung up for you...So hang up on dude, I’m tellin’ you’’ 🔥👏🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥
"If your search for love has stolen you reverence for God then you have made a modern-day Baal out of a relationship." wow!
A man that is yet to learn how to be lead by the Spirit of God cannot lead you to anywhere but to himself
Needed this 6 years later
damn, that's me, my gf is really trying to change me
This spoke to my soul. That was a whole sermon right there.
And, that would be cool if he were the source of all comfort
“You have made a modern day Baal out of a relationship” 👏😳 that is so true
"A man who is not led by the Spirit cannot lead you to anywhere but himself"
She is untouchable with the way she uses her wisdom for words.
