A Man After His Heart Poem by Truth Osumareton Egbe

Your heart beats as a reminder of His heart beat for you
For out of the abundance of His heart, man was formed
Formed because he knew you
He knew you before he formed you...in His own image
Like God; a mirror; a reflection; perfection
A sacred connection of divinity with humanity
But slowly and surely choice beckoned, we stepped away from our mirror and submitted to evil himself
Oh behold a heart of stone!
A heart full of envy, strife, and jealousy
A heart that plots murder against his own
Desperately in constant pursuit of wickedness
Unlike God; a contrast; dissimilitude; disconnection
The first step in the journey to mortality
What shall redeem us from this curse?
For out of an evil heart would always come forth evil
What shall the remedy be?
For darkness cannot co-exist with light
Nor death with life
Nor hate with love
Nor sin with God - God the one who was before there was a was
Who lives forever
The high and exalted one
Whose name is holy
He put His heart in us so we might have a heart after him
For out of His heart flows love
