*The Alpha and The Omega*

I knew God before I knew you.

God chose me, and so did you.

the truth hurts, and the truth is I chose you over God. 

I was a child, and so were you.

Bonded through our childhood pain, we vowed to see it through.

You said wait, but I only knew how to go. Just like you, we were similar souls.

God is punishing me because I wouldn’t let you go.

I saw the change in you and I couldn’t let you know. 

I wanted to save you, like you saved me back then, I wanted to bring you back.

I thought my belief in you and my prayers would do just that.

I didn’t want to say what I saw, believing if I didn’t say it, it wouldn’t be true at all.

Maybe if I had been honest with us both, things would be different now.

Someone in our lineage was tricked by the devil and came back with a deal that would hurt everyone who loved us and make us all ill.

Someone prophesied this over your life, and you spoke it into fruition, believing it was right.

It wasn’t right in any way, and it wasn’t true.

It was a lie from the enemy to steal your destiny and others, too.

I know that’s what hurts you the most, how the pain has reached those you hold close.

But GOD is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. 

He knows our heart deep within. He holds the key to forgive our sins.

The good news is no man can judge us they just pretend. 

We know the truth, ONE GOD and GOD WINS.

He is the beginning and the end.

Today, we choose him, and so we win, AMEN🙏🏾
