There's speculations doing the rounds
That You bind up the old wounds,
Cause light to come out of darkness
And make the best out of the worst
There's claims that have been stamped for approval
Insisting that God is a girl-dad
I believe them so bad
I'm assuming it gets the boys mad
I am inclined to believe,
Because You have covered Woman with love as with a shield
The one by the well was star-struck and dumbfound
Like a child witnessing a magic trick, she fell for it! She fell for You, Messiah
Though her dirtiest of laundry was dug up as deep as the well itself, she left knowing it is well
In the most unfathomable way did You spare the one caught in adultery
Potentially marking this occurrence as one substantial act of grace recorded in history
Guilt should have been her portion, or even death itself,
But you overcame both and shamed her shamers
She shrunk and fought for dear life as her accusers aimed at her
But You blocked them not with shield but words
It then rings true that your Word is like a sword, double-edged
You fashioned Woman in the most appealing way
Took Your time as You sat outside of time
You should have used clay but used man's rib, a sure sign of notability and unity
It could have been a life sentence, but You gave her beauty for ashes instead

A sad read that is powerful and screams out to be heard. It is not just for one but many that this poem speaks.
It comes from the depths of my soul. Thank you Soren and I hope you feel seen by God too today and always
