"I will wait for you" by JANETTE...IKZ

Words are hardly needed to describe this amazing video but I'll give it a go anyways. This is such a powerful poem about saving yourself for the one that God has picked for you, for believing that God knows what's best for you. It's about knowing God in the waiting season and also about knowing yourself. Waiting is as much about your future spouse getting ready for you as it is about you preparing yourself for them. We so often say God make sure he has this, this and this that we neglect to make sure that we have that, that and that. We, ladies, should have something to bring to the table, like the ability to pray for and back your husbands no matter what, the ability to take care of your family and keep your home in order, the ability to encourage and love and honor and respect and submit to your husbands. The things we demand from them, we must also be able to give back to them.

That being said, my favorite part in the poem is when she compares her husband to great men of God in the Bible:

And I will know you…because when you speak I will be reminded of Solomon’s wisdom,
Your ability to lead will remind me of Moses,
Your faith will remind me of Abraham,
Your confidence in God’s Word will remind me of Daniel,
Your inspiration will remind me of Paul,
Your heart for God will remind me of David,
Your attention to detail will remind me of Noah,
Your integrity will remind me of Joseph,
And your ability to abandon your own will, will remind me of the disciples,
But Your ability to love selflessly & unconditionally will remind me of Christ.

She, then follows it up with my second favorite part, the description on the women:

And you will know me, and you will find me,
Where… the boldness of Esther meets the warm closeness of Ruth.
Where the hospitality of Lydia is aligned with the submission of Mary,
Which is engulfed in the tears of a praying Hanna.
I will be the one, drenched in Proverbs 31… waiting for you.

And ends by addressing God:

But to my Father, my Father who has known me before I was birthed into this earth
Only if you should see fit…
I desire Your will above mine,
So even if you call me to a life of singleness,
My heart is content with YOU – the One who was sent.
YOU are the greatest love story ever told,
The greatest story ever known
You are forever my judge & I’m forever Your witness
And I pray that I’m always found on a mission about my Father’s business
